The Pebble Incense Holder is hand-turned in Auckland by Woo-Lam (Sam) Choi of Walk in the Park. Its form is elemental — a smooth, tactile ovoid in ebonised blue gum, the ripple grain of the timber still visible beneath the dark finish. Weighted and considered enough to hold its own on a shelf or bench. A single drilled hole accepts most standard incense sticks, holding them at a gentle angle while ash falls clear of the surface below. Each piece is turned individually, and the natural variations in grain, figure, and surface are part of what makes each one singular.

Part of Walk in the Park's Pawn Collection — a series of geometric sculptural objects that began with the form of a chess pawn and has since evolved into something entirely its own.

Diameter: 3.5–5cm
Material: blue gum, ebonised, ripple grain

ABOUT the MAKER

Walk in the Park

Walk in the Park is the studio practice of Woo-Lam (Sam) Choi, an Auckland-based artist and designer trained in woodworking and furniture design at Hong-ik University in Seoul. Sam came to wood-turning in 2016, and his practice has since developed into something quietly singular — each object hand-turned in his studio from timbers chosen for their grain, provenance, and the way they respond to the lathe. The work sits at the meeting point of form and function, but never uncomfortably. Bowls, vessels, salt pigs, and pepper mills — each piece carries the logic of its making in its surface. The fluted cylinder, the turned sphere, the contrast of two woods held together: these are not decorative choices but considered ones, arrived at through material and process. Sam works with timbers that have their own stories — among them swamp kauri, recovered from the peat bogs of Northland after tens of thousands of years, and French oak, walnut, and ash, each chosen for what they bring in colour, grain, and character. No two pieces are identical. Natural marks and variations are understood as part of the work, not incidental to it. Tessuti carries a selection of Walk in the Park pieces — objects that earn their place on a table or bench and improve, quietly, with daily use.
