Technique: Yakisugi Philosophy: Wabi-sabi Materials: Cedar Marino Piotti, known artistically as Dean Marino, born in 1982, is an Italian sculptor/designer originally from Valtrompia. Since his youth he has lived a visceral relationship with the elements of his land. He creates sculptures with natural elements such as wood and iron, giving them new life, while continually maintaining a strong bond with his origins. His objective is to create an indispensable connection between man and nature. His mission is the regeneration of matter. The knots and natural scars are an emanation of the Wabi-sabi philosophy that envelops the sculpture Exhibitions: Palazzo Facchi "the dreamers" 2021 (Brescia) Valley inc. 2021 (Brescia) "Origins" 2022 (Brescia) "Contemporaneamente" 2023 (Brescia) "recycledart" 2023 Brescia Permanent display "Alisani Bistrot" "FUTURA EXPO 2023" "Rinascita 2025" Milan Katazumi is a cedar coffee table worked with the yakisugi technique, an ancient Japanese method that uses heat to burn the wood, creating a surface resistant to fire and revealing the wonderful grain. The technique has been used in Japan for centuries and is still popular today. The minimalist design and the Wabi-sabi philosophy it is permeated with make Katazumi a perfect addition to any modern environment. It is an excellent choice for those seeking a table with a unique design that integrates seamlessly into any setting. A great addition for any home, whether modern or more traditional. Finished with oils and natural 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." By slightly carbonizing the wood surface without burning the entire piece, the wood becomes waterproof through carbonization and is therefore more durable. It also protects against insects, in addition to making the wood fire resistant. Philosophy: Wabi-sabi (侘寂) constitutes a view of the Japanese world, or an aesthetics, founded on the acceptance of transience and imperfection of things. This view, sometimes described as "beautiful imperfection, impermanence, and incompleteness," derives from the Buddhist doctrine of anitya (impermanence).
