Noir d’Or A10V62

Noir d’Or from the Vanguard collection, handcrafted from an elm crotch spanning 39 cm in diameter, reveals an absolutely stunning maze of knots and grain patterns in its warm, golden interior contrasting the bold black exterior shell. A cute hole bridges the outer and inner worlds, creating instant visual drama that stands out in exhibitions and interiors alike. As a commanding sculptural presence, it anchors open-plan spaces on low sideboards or acts as a visual hinge between zones — holding nothing yet full of presence, or evolving into a vessel for heirlooms and intentions.

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.

Every piece from the Vanguard collection comes with a unique Book of Origin, documenting its journey from the source of the wood, through the process, to the final details of its finishing. This book marks the beginning of a new life — a place for you to set your intention as its steward and to inscribe the next chapters of its story. Choosing Scar & Wonder is a commitment to a slower, more connected life — one in which things are cared for, shared, and ultimately passed on.

Together, we shape value on multiple levels — sentimental, emotional, and financial — choosing depth over disposability, and standing for a world in which longevity and meaning outweigh surface glitter and passing trends.
