I am a set of Block Wood Magnets. I'm a natural magnet for beautiful things.
Considered damaged to some, designer Yamazaki Yoshiki has transformed Japanese oak that’s been naturally weathered, discoloured and insect-bored, into everyday useful objects. The grooved channels, small holes and winding dark striations in the spalted wood vary to create a one-of-a-kind piece.
