Carved from curly Koa, a prized hardwood native only to the volcanic slopes of Hawai‘i, this chair carries the warmth and movement of the islands in its grain. Koa trees grow slowly and rarely reach great size, which makes wide, furniture-grade boards exceptionally scarce — and even more so when they bear the curled, undulating figure that ripples across this piece like wind over water.
 
Rich amber and copper tones shift with the light, revealing depth and fire beneath the surface. Dense yet responsive under edge tools, Koa shapes into flowing lines that feel alive to the touch. The result is a rocker that’s as rare as the land it comes from — a union of sculpted form and natural wonder, crafted from wood few will ever have the chance to work with.
