Product description
A remarkable sculptural table by Dutch artist and designer Emile van der Kruk, carved entirely from solid wood. Titled Loaves & Fishes, the piece blurs the boundaries between furniture, folk art and sculpture, transforming a familiar table into a poetic narrative object. The robust hand carved construction retains the expressive marks of the maker’s tools, celebrating the natural character of the wood rather than concealing it. Resting on four turned legs, the tabletop supports abstract representations of loaves and fish, referencing the biblical story while creating a playful and highly individual composition. Van der Kruk’s work is known for its direct, intuitive approach to form and material. The rough hewn surfaces, visible grain and irregular contours give the piece a strong tactile presence, while the symbolic imagery introduces a layer of storytelling rarely found in functional furniture. Part table, part sculpture, Loaves & Fishes is a unique statement piece that embodies the rich tradition of Dutch expressive woodworking. About the designer Emile van der Kruk is a Dutch sculptor and furniture maker whose work occupies the intersection of art, craft and design. Working primarily in wood, he creates highly personal pieces characterized by expressive carving, symbolic references and a deep respect for the natural qualities of the material. His works are often unique and reflect a distinctly sculptural approach to furniture. Condition Very good condition with minimal signs of wear. The wood displays a beautiful natural patina and pronounced grain structure.
