Ginkgo Vase

$180 NZD

The Ginkgo Vase is a finely hand-turned piece created by Woo-Lam (Sam) Choi of Walk In The Park. Shaped from ginkgo wood and finished with natural oils and wax, it reveals subtle textures and the quiet beauty of the grain. Designed for dried botanicals only, it brings a sense of calm craftsmanship to any interior — a small sculptural object intended to hold stories and be passed down through generations.

Each vase is made individually in Choi’s Auckland studio, where traditional woodworking techniques meet a contemporary sensibility. Gentle variations in tone and form reflect the character of the wood and the maker’s hand.

Dimensions: Ø 9.5 cm × H 13 cm

Material: Ginkgo wood

ABOUT the MAKER

Walk in the Park

Walk In The Park is the studio practice of artist and designer Woo-Lam (Sam) Choi, based in Auckland, New Zealand. Trained in woodworking and furniture design at Hong-ik University in Korea, Sam began exploring wood-turning in 2016. His work today sits at the intersection of form and function — each object carefully hand-turned from timber in his studio, where simplicity and craftsmanship take centre stage. Walk In The Park celebrates honest design where beauty and utility are intertwined. Sam's sculptural vessels, bowls and objects reflect a quiet reverence for material, process and proportion. These timeless pieces are designed to enrich daily rituals, offering a tactile connection to nature and a thoughtful pause in modern life. Tessuti is proud to present a selection of Walk In The Park's work — considered pieces that honour traditional craftsmanship through a contemporary lens.
