The concentric circular marks under the bark of a tree are layers added to a tree&#8217;s trunk each year as it grows, and become the mark of every year past. Wood grain is the very reflection of the life of a tree, proof of natural life and growth carved deep into its pattern. These are motifs we can choose to enjoy in our daily lives: from our floorboards, via cabinets, our tables, and to our chairs. A connection to nature, the wood grain highlights how the tree lived on before us for centuries, and purposefully becomes sculpted into objects that make up our surroundings and our home. From Birchwood, Oak, Pine, and Balsa, light wood making its return to trend as a blank canvas that calms the eye and the nerves and allows us to enjoy the natural patterna, whilst bringing a breath of fresh nature to ground us back to Earth.

But not here. In the case of this outdoor shed, this is meant literally; at night, warm light filters through the timber slats that surround the structure, turning a simple outdoor shed into a stunning light installation. In fact, it&#8217;s been nicknamed &#8216;Nightlight&#8217; by Fabric, the architecture studio which brought this vision to life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-01f9d38c0b925594f9d49ab6003dc375 wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s a shed that seems as if it comes from nature itself; the wood exterior of the shed matches the K\u0101nuka trees surrounding it, blending it into the wildlife of rural Akaroa, New Zealand. The body of the shed is made of translucent polycarbonate, allowing the minimalist pine and locally sourced Macrocarpa wood to stand out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-bdbc553e4ba9a7c41a4ab79a3ae0adff wp-block-paragraph\">During the day, the shed provides the storage we need, as well as a bathroom, workspace, and an <a href=\"https:\/\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/the-best-travel-gear-for-outdoor-explorers\/\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/the-best-travel-gear-for-outdoor-explorers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>outdoor <\/strong><\/a>kitchen for a home that will eventually be built on the site. The shed was designed specifically with this nightlight vision in mind. The battens and slats were meticulously lined up and placed sparingly to create a uniform glow.

The &#8216;barcas,&#8217; which means &#8216;small wood boat&#8217; in Portuguese, were traditionally handmade and smooth, used for fishing along the countryside or transporting goods and people across the Douro River.

This is what Hartis and CMS Collection have done in this display, combining pieces from Hugo Besnier&#8217;s Tour de Mains furniture collection with works from Argentinian painter Roberto Plat\u00e9, all styled together in the former French apartment of fashion designer Pierre Cardin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-8407b64922e08f7f5f45ed4bb003fd4e wp-block-paragraph\">When seen together, this display gives a context for Besnier&#8217;s light wood pieces to blend seamlessly in, while interacting with Plat\u00e9&#8217;s artworks.

The pattern of rings reminds us of the natural world, a record of life lived long before they came to live in our homes. By using light wood, we invite that history into our spaces, creating environments that feel grounded, calming, and connected to nature. Like an anchor, they remind us of the enduring world of nature that we enhabit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-0b0ac264688fe9d3e6e5b8ace81ff89c wp-block-paragraph\">Read more about Timbra Piano <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kellywearstler.com\/new-arrivals\/timbra\/EDEL1001-DN.html?srsltid=AfmBOop7zspHpHyHnzNe7TTnaUJfsc9XTrTguS0h8AK5NfvZSku3xiI2\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/www.kellywearstler.com\/new-arrivals\/timbra\/EDEL1001-DN.html?srsltid=AfmBOop7zspHpHyHnzNe7TTnaUJfsc9XTrTguS0h8AK5NfvZSku3xiI2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>here<\/strong><\/a>.
