Collection concept:
Our Black Oak Collection is a luxury line that is enhanced by the full brass and epoxy inserts, making them elegant, timeless art pieces. Black Oak wood forms when a tree falls into a peat bog, swamp, or riverbed and becomes buried under layers of sediment in an oxygen-poor, acidic, and waterlogged environment. Over hundreds to thousands of years, the wood slowly absorbs minerals and tannins from the surrounding soil and water, which darken its color, harden its structure, and preserve it from decay.
