Saman Samanea Suar Wood Table |
The wood of the tree known as Saman Samanea is hard with a dreamy, swirling grain, its color ranging from honey to light tan to deep red, almost black. Saman Samanea. It sounds like the name of a movie star. Her canopy is large, umbrella shaped, and extremely wide. Her trunk is impressive too. As she ages, it can reach a diameter in excess of eight feet. She is a big tree, one to be appreciated for her grandeur and beauty. She is the siren of the forest.

All things in the world transition to something else. Saman Samanea is no exception. However, when her time has come she is neither buried nor burned, but instead, reincarnated, if you will, into purposeful objects of enduring beauty. This week’s new arrival, like a major Hollywood film, stars Saman Samanea in an altogether new role. She plays a stunning, one-of-a-kind table top who lived in Indonesia, until she was reborn at PRIMITIVE married to a handsome steel base with a graphite patina...waiting patiently to find a new home.
