Whiskey Ashtray A08R31

The Whiskey Ashtray is a mysterious, evocative platter from the Resonance collection, hand-turned from a beech stump – though its exact origins remain an enigma. At 29 cm in diameter, its form playfully evokes an ashtray, not through function but through dramatic shape and absolutely gorgeous voids, meticulously cleaned around former wormholes that now serve as contemplative hollows. This piece bridges everyday utility with sculptural presence, perfect as a refined accent in interiors, a meaningful artwork without prescribed use, or a stage to showcase jewellery or other precious possessions. It invites reflection on the stories hidden in wood’s scars.

Resonance is our middle tier — between the everyday functionality of Journey and the uncompromising boldness of Vanguard. It balances quiet utility with sculptural presence, created to live naturally in refined interiors. At Scar & Wonder, work begins with abandoned and reclaimed wood. Each piece is an act of discovery: unpredictability shaping the silhouette, with singular marks – graceful cracks, voids, twists and textures – becoming its character rather than its flaws. Every Scar & Wonder object is one of a kind, finished with natural ancient methods and marked with its own hand-stamped signature. Our objects challenge mass consumption — the cycle of superficially perfect, quickly discarded goods. By embracing imperfection and aging, we reject capitalist disposability and invite stories, creating lifelong companions. Choosing Scar & Wonder is a commitment to a slower, more connected life – one in which things are cared for, shared, and ultimately passed on.
