A limited collection piece, the Roots Altar, draws a parallel to the historical notion of collectible furniture inherited by the generations to come.

As a private altar, it proudly exhibits your artifacts and keepsakes. Its heart lies in the two small drawer units with an unconventional opening mechanism. The cabinet features Reishi mycelium as well as a myriad of rare woods. Eucalyptus. Ziricote. Mahogany. Three types of sixty-year-old root veneers are inherited from the artisan’s grandpa. Secretive and sculptural, the Roots Altar draws inspiration from the forest and all of its colors and mysteries.
