A dense pattern of dark tortoiseshell markings renders organic, interlocking shapes in deep amber and rust tones against a nearly black background. The composition creates an all-over visual rhythm, like the overlapping plates of an actual shell caught in low, warm light. At home in a naturalist's study or a space drawn to earth tones and animal pattern. A Baltic birch top with a beveled edge and satin finish, the artwork printed across it, made to order on steel legs in black or gold. A working piece of furniture that earns its place as an independent artist's work.
