Lokum

Erin Smith — Mon, 30 Mar 2026 21:26:54 +0000

Conceived by Dutch designer Sabine Marcelis for Acerbis, the Lokum side tables distill the art of blown glass into quietly luminous form. Known for her poetic command of reflective surfaces and color, Marcelis shapes amber and smoky hues into rectangular and square silhouettes that shift with the light, casting subtle interplays of shadow and warmth. Minimalist in profile yet rich in material presence, Lokum works beautifully as a standalone accent or grouped for a layered, custom arrangement.

10 years after the first presentation of the classic FishEye Stool alcarol present FishEye EXCL. Stool _ Limited Edition.

It is made with the same materials (wooden poles of Venice encased in translucent resin like lagoon water) but with a completely different effect.

For the making of FishEye EXCL. alcarol has exaggerated the reaction of the resin to emphasize the formation of internal cracks like those of a frozen lagoon and also frozen air bubbles released from the cavities that make this wood so unique all over the world.

Wetland Stool

Abonos is a Celtic name which indicates the fossil wetland wood type of some rare alluvial areas of the Alps, where minerals and water have started the semi-fossilization process of the submerged trees.
This wood has a unique chromatics scale of the woodgrain changing from golden to black with always unique shades that comes to light like a jewel of the past, through a careful, complex work of recovery and processing.
Like the water over millennia, the alcarols transparent resin surrounds the organic shapes of this unique wood, preserving and enhancing all its preciousness and charm.

Surfacing Stump

Erin Smith — Mon, 31 Mar 2025 17:51:28 +0000

After the terrible flood of 2018, alcarol has recovered some discarded pieces of logs from the undergrowth of the Italian Dolomite mountains and has preserved the natural bark surface with their native populations of plants, which are embedded in a resin resembling the water that created and ended his life. All environmental traces on the raw material are thoroughly studied to discover and preserve the specific Genius Loci.
According to the alcarol concept of environmental cross-section, the natural wood surface is not covered by resin on the section planes, so you can touch its warm organic vibrancy.
The couple of twin pieces are obtained from the same Acacia trunk, rich in amazing roots.
