Zebrawood
Zebrawood is a tropical hardwood known for its distinctive light brown or golden-yellow base with dark brown or black stripes resembling a zebra's pattern. Native to West African rainforests, it comes primarily from species like Microberlinia brazzavillensis. Valued for its striking appearance and durability, it is commonly used in luxury furniture, veneers, and musical instruments. Due to overharvesting, sustainable sourcing is essential to protect its natural habitats.
Crafted from Zebrawood, this 10-sided design conveys complex rhythmic contrasts in both the grain and shape. It evokes the strength of a shield, offering protection, while its delicate, interconnected components on the inside suggest a subtle, intricate balance.
