Kukkii Fungi sculpture, medium
Description
The Kukkii Fungi sculpture by the Finnish master cabinetmaker Antrei Hartikainen is part of a collection of unique wooden flowers and mushrooms standing on a slender stem, creating a delicate ambience in smaller or larger groups. These handmade sculptures may resemble each other to varying degrees, but two exactly identical pieces can't be found – the final look of your sculpture will thus only be revealed when you receive it.
The Kukkii ("blooming") series depicts the moment of calmness and freedom one can experience in nature. The wooden sculptures can be placed on a floor, table or windowsill, or mounted on the wall as a decorative floating shelf. Kukkii sculptures are handmade in Finland with different types of crafting techniques, and they won the Product of the Year 2017 award at the Finnish design gala Muoto.
