Petrified wood furniture

This is what the fossilized remains of terrestrial vegetation are called.

EXPLANATIONS:

Petrification is the result of replacing a tree with stone through a process of mineralization. The organic materials constituting the cell walls have been replaced by minerals (mainly silica in the form of opal, chalcedony or quartz). Petrified wood becomes a three-dimensional representation of the original organic matter.

The process of petrification occurs underground, when the wood is buried in water-saturated sediments or volcanic ash. Water loaded with minerals circulating in the sediment can lead to permineralization (when minerals rush out of solution and fill the interior of cells and other void spaces). The cell walls of the plant act as a model for mineralization.

 

Here are some elements that make Kif Kif Import petrified wood furniture unique:

 

THE STYLE

There are several types of colors for petrified wood furniture, all of which are influenced by the sediments in which they were fossilized. The most common colors are chocolate black, pearl gray or beige, but they are also found in reds and oranges.

 

ARTISANAL FARING

Like every piece of furniture for sale in the market, handcrafted products are always of a higher quality than those made with machines. Craftsmen pay attention to the smallest detail which adds more aesthetic value to the furniture.
