Zwaart Plate

This plate was crafted using wood collected from parks around Amsterdam and paired with linen grown, harvested, and woven in the Netherlands. The materials are treated using the traditional Korean Nakdong wood-burning technique and finished with natural ottchil lacquer. The blackened wood and the deep black of over nine layers of lacquer create a visually unified surface, yet reveal subtle differences in texture and depth, inviting a closer look.
