{"product_id":"raised-platter-swamp-kauri","title":"Raised Platter (Swamp Kauri)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Raised Platter is hand-turned in Auckland by Woo-Lam (Sam) Choi of Walk in the Park. A wide, flat swamp kauri platter sits above an ebonised swamp kauri pedestal — inverted cone tapering to a sphere, then flaring out again to a disc base. The geometry is considered and precise, the dark pedestal throwing the warm amber grain of the platter surface into relief. That both elements are the same timber — one in its natural state, one ebonised — gives the piece a material coherence that rewards closer looking. Swamp kauri is among the oldest workable timber in the world, recovered from the peat bogs of Northland after tens of thousands of years; that history is present in the depth and variation of its grain. Each piece is turned individually, and natural variations in tone and figure are part of what makes each one singular.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuited to food presentation or ornamental display. Natural marks or small openings in the wood are not flaws — they are evidence of the material's life before the lathe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDiameter: 26cm · Height: 17.5cm\u003cbr\u003ePlatter: swamp kauri · Pedestal: swamp kauri, ebonised\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!--split--\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandmade in Auckland, New Zealand by Walk in the Park\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart of the Pawn Collection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for food presentation and ornamental display\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCare: nourish with linseed, walnut, tung, or beeswax oil as needed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Walk in the Park","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49194709221684,"sku":"raised-platter-(swamp-kauri)","price":372.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0116\/2602\/files\/DSCF3411.jpg?v=1784410801","url":"https:\/\/tessuti.myshopify.com\/products\/raised-platter-swamp-kauri","provider":"Tessuti","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
