A rare and naturally occurring phenomenon, spalting is a change in pigmentation and coloration of a live tree's grain caused by fungi. Although this leads to the tree's eventual decay, when harvested at the right time, it results in entirely unique grain patterns and zone lines highly sought-after by woodworkers. In this armoire, spalted oak wood on a sleek steel base provides a slice of nature's beauty for a contemporary home.

**About Taracea**
Inspired by nature and committed to preserving her beauty, Taracea has used traditional artisanal methods to create striking furniture with strategically sourced wood for over 30 years. By recovering fallen and hurricane-tumbled trees without damaging their surrounding ecosystems - a process that can take years from start to finish - they rescue material that would have otherwise been wasted. This reclamation process allows Taracea to harness the wood’s authentic character in their furniture designs, as each piece is individually processed to uncover its natural beauty. The wood is then entrusted to the skilled hands of master craftsmen: From aging techniques to hand-applied finishes and decorative touches, they suffuse each piece of furniture with centuries of tradition.
