Stadium Salt Pig - Walnut

$220 NZD

The Stadium Salt Pig – Walnut by Woo-Lam (Sam) Choi of Walk In The Park is a quietly striking piece that combines function with sculptural beauty. Hand-turned in Auckland, New Zealand, it brings together the deep warmth of walnut with the contrast of an ebonised French Oak lid.

Traditionally a salt keeper, its open, rounded form is designed for versatility — equally suited to serving condiments at the table or storing small keepsakes. Every curve reflects Sam Choi’s thoughtful craftsmanship and deep respect for natural materials.

Each piece reveals the inherent character of the wood, from subtle variations in tone to the natural markings that emerge through hand-turning. These are not flaws, but testaments to the timber’s unique story and organic beauty.

Elegant and enduring, the Stadium Salt Pig – Walnut brings warmth, texture, and artistry to the everyday — a piece to live with, love, and keep for years to come.

Diameter 7cm, Total height - 11cm

Material: Lid - French Oak (ebonised), Dish - Walnut.

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.
