The Story Behind the Piece

The idea

Sail takes a heavy material and asks it to look caught in the wind. Oak is dense and slow; the ambition was a plane that seems to lean, as though a gust had just passed through the room.

The form

At 1250 mm high the sail is read from across a room. Its curve is generous on one face and tight on the other, so the object changes weight completely depending on where you stand.

Timber and light

Light is held on the inner face of the curve and never aimed outwards. The body is heavily charred and then brushed back to a natural oak colour, so the warm inner face appears to float against the darker base.

Why oak

Oak has the strength to hold a tall, thin plane without support, and its coarse grain survives deep charring: after brushing, the rings stand proud as a physical texture in warm natural tones.

Material & Finish

Timber species: Oak
Material: New timber, not reclaimed
Surface: Brushed
Treatment: Deep Char
Finish: KIME
Protection: Sealed
Surface Colour: Natural charred oak
Natural Variation: Oak medullary rays and ring structure remain visible in relief after brushing.
Care: Soft brush cleaning.

Made by Hand

The sail is shaped first, then heavily charred so the flame follows the curve, and finally brushed back with the KIME treatment until the natural oak colour and grain stand proud.

Construction: Shaped oak plane on a concealed, charred base.
Hand finishing: Heavy charring followed by KIME brushing and sealing by hand - a time-intensive, repeated process.
Light integration: The light source is concealed at the charred base and washes the inner face.
