Description

The Chariot Bench represents a rare opportunity to own a functional artifact that has survived nearly two centuries of history. At the core of this piece is a wooden base salvaged from an authentic East Indian Walnut chariot, aged between 180 to 200 years. This reclaimed wood carries a unique character and soul that only time can bestow, repurposed now into a one-of-a-kind addition to any modern space.

The structural integrity of the piece relies on ancient architectural techniques. The walnut base is meticulously interlocked and grooved directly into two sturdy Granite Boulders, providing a solid and earthy foundation through precision joinery. This harmonious blend of wood and stone reflects a deep respect for natural elements and the ingenuity of traditional builders.

Beyond its historical and structural merits, the Chariot Bench is designed for sensory well-being. The wooden surface features detailed, hand-carved textures meticulously crafted to offer both visual and tactile experiences. Physically, these intricate carvings are designed to gently press against the body while sitting, creating a sensation akin to acupuncture that promotes comfort and relaxation. Standing at 84”L x 18”W x 18”H (213 x 45.7 x 45.7 cms), it serves as a monumental focal point that seamlessly merges history with natural beauty.
