“Time leaves its traces openly — in rings, texture, and the quiet strength of wood shaped by years.”

Rooted in the wabi-sabi philosophy, La Buche celebrates age, imperfection, and the raw honesty of natural material. Crafted from solid aged wood, its pronounced growth rings, weathered surface, and subtle irregularities speak directly to time and use rather than refinement.

With compact, grounded proportions — approximately 33 × 33 × 50 cm — each stool carries its own character. Variations of a few centimeters in size and form are inherent to the piece, reinforcing its authenticity and one-of-a-kind presence. Functional yet sculptural, it serves equally well as seating, a side surface, or a quiet object within a space.

Materials
Crafted from solid aged wood, selected for its density, durability, and deeply weathered character. Visible growth rings, cracks, and tonal variations reflect the natural aging process, making each piece entirely unique.

Craftsmanship
Hand-carved from a single block using sculptural carving and relief shaping techniques, preserving the wood’s natural form. Structural integrity is maintained through careful material selection rather than joinery. The surface is minimally worked, then hand-sanded and sealed to stabilize the wood while retaining its raw texture and organic irregularities.

We are not like other furniture stores.

LUMINES is a studio of natural material and artisanal handmade work.

Nothing is mass produced — each piece is shaped through process, variation, and human touch.
