Matka Side Table
Every Matka begins with a single block of wood, worked entirely on the lathe until it yields the rounded, gently swelling form of a vessel: an onion, a matka, a dome, shapes that have carried symbolic weight across centuries of sacred architecture.
The wood is left to speak for itself: its natural grain rings outward in concentric patterns that trace the very technique used to shape it, so the making is never hidden, only honoured. Resting atop is a plate of aluminium, worked by hand until its surface takes on the soft, creased folds of gathered fabric, a material normally associated with industry made suddenly tactile and warm.
Set side by side or alone, in pairs of varying heights, the tables read as sculptural objects first and furniture second, each one carrying the subtle irregularities that mark it as singular.
