Oftentimes, the wood furniture that we interact with is heavily rounded on the edges, covered in a thick plastic film, and devoid of its history. As a kid I remember climbing trees, the feel of the bark, its thick texture offering added grip and the occasional scrape. When making outdoor sofas from Pomelle Eucalyptus, I chose minimal interventions, embracing the natural form of the tree, and smoothing only the surfaces in direct contact with the body.
