Mahogany
The Mahogany tree (Swietenia species) is a majestic hardwood native to tropical regions of the Americas, Africa, and Asia. Renowned for its straight-grained, reddish-brown timber, mahogany is prized for its beauty, strength, and workability. The tree can grow up to 150 feet tall and is valued not only for its wood but also for its ecological contributions, providing habitat and shade in tropical forests. Due to overharvesting and deforestation, some mahogany species, like Swietenia macrophylla (Honduran mahogany), are now protected under international conservation agreements to ensure sustainable use.
Made with a single piece of Mahogany, this design was created to create a sensation of vitality and inspire thoughts about the cyclical nature of life. The endless loop of the toroid evokes a sense of unity, completeness, and embraces the interconnectedness of all things.
