This stunning Wooden Sphere furniture series by sculptor Lee Jae-Hyo is definitely as much art as it is functional objects. The series is created by forming a solid composition of found wood into spherical shapes. Once the composition is complete Lee burns the mass of wood until it is completely blackened and charred. The third step is to polish the outside edges to reveal the pale, natural wood within while leaving the areas around each polished section black with char. No two pieces are alike as each piece of found wood has its own distinctive graining and shape, meaning the blackened voids are always unique as is the story within the exposed natural wood grains.
