The Offspring sculpture combines artistic expression with its handcrafted anthropomorphic design carved from responsibly sourced teak. Its natural brown finish showcases mineral-rich oil varnish that accentuates the wood's inherent grain patterns, while the dual-part structure creates compelling visual dynamics. The mask-inspired piece reflects traditional woodcarving heritage with modern minimalistic appeal, and the solid teak construction provides exceptional durability.
Belgian designer Stefan Schöning's 'Langkawi' decorative mask collection for Gardeco pays homage to the skilled woodcarvers of the Malaysian island by the same name. Five anthropomorphic designs are carved by hand from a single block of responsibly sourced Langkawi teak. The finished pieces, presented in natural brown, are varnished with a mineral-rich oil that further enhances the grain. The sculptures exude rhythm and play with symmetry, echoing Schöning's minimalistic style. The family of mask-inspired pieces includes 'Offspring', a dynamic, thought-provoking interplay between two parts, which — in the tradition of mask-making — speaks to what it means to be human.
