The Memory of Motion
Vintage Carved Wooden Chakhla on Stand, Brown
About the Product
This striking decor piece is carved from a vintage chapati board (chakla or chakhlota). Years of daily use shaped it first. Then it was carved by hand, turning a board for dough into something to be looked at. Mounted on a black metal stand, the chakla takes on a new life as a sculptural object. It layers well with books, ceramics, stone and other collected objects.
Each chakla is one of a kind. The carving and overall character stay consistent, while grain, cracks and patina vary from board to board. Photographs are close, but the piece may look slightly different in person and from different angles. Cracks and softened edges are part of the original piece and add to the beauty of it.
About the Chapter
From The Memory of Motion, Origin & Form's first collection.
This piece has already made a journey. Long before it reached you, it moved: carried, wheeled, passed from hand to hand. It carries decades in its grain and the wear of the roads behind it.
You're not buying an object. You're buying the moment it stopped moving.
