Lotus Arts de Vivre has masterfully combined heritage Asian craftsmanship to create a sculptural wooden lotus pond, blooming with meticulously forged sterling silver lotus flowers and delicate leaves. Illuminated by the warm glow of 24-carat gold leaf, the bowl is carved according to the natural organic contours of raw teak root wood, transforming the material into a striking decorative object.

Both sculptural and functional, the piece stands as a unique objet d’art designed to bring warmth, texture, and artistic presence into a refined interior.

The teak root was sourced from some of the finest teak plantations in Java, Indonesia, a region known for producing exceptionally high-grade teak due to its ideal growing conditions. Teak, derived from the tropical hardwood species Tectona grandis, is native to South and Southeast Asia and is highly valued for its durability and water resistance. Its naturally high oil content gives it one of the highest decay resistances among all natural wood products.

Historically used in yacht building, architecture, and fine furniture, teak is also prized by artists and sculptors for its strength and ability to support intricate carving. Lotus Arts de Vivre works with naturally formed teak branches, roots, and driftwood, further hand-carving each piece to give the wood a second life through sculptural design.

The sterling silver lotus flowers and leaves are individually forged and carefully composed across the wooden surface, creating a dialogue between organic teak grain, precious metalwork, and the reflective warmth of gold leaf.
