Black Star: Transforming Wood into Art

Klaus Kirchner's Black Star is a stunning woodturned vessel that combines the inspiration of a wall sculpture with the elegance of a ceramic vessel. The design concept focuses on the transformation of wood species into a visually pleasing and tactile object. The vessel, crafted from alder wood, features a unique process involving woodturning, drilling, color staining, and pyrography, culminating in a charred black finish. The result is a piece that not only captivates the eye but also offers a delightful haptic experience.

The vessel's organic and futuristic design, adorned with stars and cones, creates a zen-like ambiance, making it a perfect fit for modern interiors. Measuring 220mm in width, 220mm in depth, and 180mm in height, the Black Star vessel exudes a sense of space and tranquility, adding a touch of sophistication to any setting.

When placed on a shelf or table with the right lighting, the vessel's beauty comes to life, showcasing its intricate details and unique texture. Additionally, the vessel invites tactile exploration, allowing individuals to experience the warmth and contrast of the charred wood firsthand.

Kirchner's dedication to his craft is evident in the meticulous process behind the Black Star vessel. From experimenting with smaller-scale designs to overcoming creative and technical challenges, he has brought this exceptional piece to life in just three days at his workshop in Hanau.

For Klaus Kirchner, the Black Star vessel represents more than just a design; it embodies the art of giving reclaimed timber a second life. His passion for working with natural materials and letting the wood's inherent beauty shine through has earned him accolades, including the prestigious Silver A' Design Award in 2020.
