Title: "Santoku" Designer artist: Dean Marino Year: 2025 Conditions: excellent Certificate of authenticity included. Hand-signed Made in Italy. Measurements: 21x70x33 cm approx. Technique: Yakisugi Philosophy: Wabi-sabi Materials: Cedar Marino Piotti, known as Dean Marino, born in 1982, is an Italian sculptor/designer from Valtrompia. Since childhood he has a visceral relationship with the elements of his land. He creates sculptures with natural elements such as wood and iron, giving them a new life while maintaining a strong link to his origins. His objective is to create an indispensable connection between humans and nature. His mission is the regeneration of matter. The knots and natural scars are an emanation of the Wabi-sabi philosophy that surrounds the sculpture.

The technique has been used in Japan for centuries and is still popular today. The minimalist design and the Wabi-sabi philosophy that pervades it make Santoku a perfect addition to any modern environment. It is an excellent choice for anyone seeking a coffee table with a unique design that integrates seamlessly into any setting. A great addition for any home, whether modern or more traditional. Finished with natural oils and wax. Technique used: Yakisugi (焼杉) is a traditional Japanese method of wood preservation. Yaki means to heat with fire and sugi is cedar. In the West it is referred to as burnt wood cladding and also known as shou sugi ban (焼杉板) which uses the same kanji characters but with an incorrect pronunciation. The character ban means "board." Carbonizing the surface of the wood slightly without burning the entire piece makes the wood water-resistant through carbonization and thus more durable. It also protects against insects, in addition to making the wood fire-resistant. Philosophy: Wabi-sabi (侘寂) constitutes a vision of the Japanese world, or aesthetics, founded on accepting transience and imperfection of things. This vision, sometimes described as "beautiful imperfection, impermanence, and incompleteness" derives from the Buddhist doctrine of anitya (impermanence).
