Olive Wood Sculpture Furniture Akalie Chair Sculpture

I live in the country where the cultivation of olives dates back to 4000 BC, as documented in the Minoan civilization. Deep love for the earth and deep respect for the olive trees is the main reason why the artist realized the degree of waste in the process extraction and use of wood. The experience he gained gives him a reason for his work. The sculptural furniture is made of recovered trees, damaged by weather or human activity. The works created by the artist are born from creative dialogue with the material from which creates sculptural furniture. Everything begins and ends with the tree. The olive tree inspires the artist to search. Shapes, holes, cracks and time lapse lead to a carefully selected design. It gives these trees a new life.
