Stepped Bowl Large

$920 NZD
(Last One)

The Stepped Bowl Large by Woo-Lam (Sam) Choi is a sculptural statement piece shaped from green New Zealand maple, carved by hand and left to dry slowly so the timber can settle into its own natural form. As the wood gently warps, it develops soft curves and subtle undulations — unique characteristics that honour the living material and the maker’s touch. Partly torched to enhance the grain, the bowl carries a quiet, organic drama.

Equally functional and decorative, it serves beautifully as a fruit bowl or as an object of contemplation on a table or shelf. Each piece is made individually in Choi’s Auckland studio, where traditional woodworking techniques meet contemporary, minimalist sensibilities.

Dimensions: 33cm diameter × 11cm height

Material: Spalted New Zealand maple, partly torched.

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.
