Marino Piotti, in art Dean Marino, born in 1982, is an Italian sculptor/designer from Valtrompia. Since a young age, he has lived with a close, tangible relationship with the elements of his country. He creates sculptures using natural elements such as wood and iron, giving them new life and constantly maintaining a strong bond with his origins. His goal is to create an indispensable connection between man and nature. His mission is the regeneration of matter. Knots and natural scars are an emanation of the Wabi-sabi philosophy that envelops the sculpture

Morishi is a cedar table, treated using the Yakisugi technique, an ancient Japanese method that burns wood with heat, creating a fire-resistant surface that reveals the beautiful grain patterns. The technique has been used in Japan for centuries and remains popular today.
The minimalist design and the Wabi-sabi philosophy it is imbued with make Morishi a perfect addition to any modern setting. An excellent choice for those seeking a unique design with an aesthetic that integrates seamlessly into any environment. A great addition to any home, whether it is a modern space or a more traditional one.
Finished with oils and natural wax.
Technique:
Yakisugi (焼杉) is a traditional Japanese method of wood preservation. Yaki means heating with fire and sugi is cypress. In the West, it is referred to as burnt wood cladding and is also known as shou sugi ban (焼杉板), which uses the same kanji characters but has an incorrect pronunciation. The character ban means "table".
By lightly carbonizing the surface of the wood without burning the entire piece, the wood becomes waterproof through carbonization and is therefore harder. Additionally, it protects against insects and makes the wood flame-retardant.
Philosophy:
Wabi-sabi (侘寂) constitutes a worldview of Japanese aesthetics based on the acceptance of the transience and imperfection of things. Such a vision, sometimes described as "beautiful imperfection, transient and imperfect," is derived from the Buddhist doctrine of anitya (transience).
