THE DETAILS

Crafted entirely from specially selected Wild Monkeypod, Seismic translates the movement and impact of seismic forces into a distinctive visual language. The rosette is deliberately split, evoking the earth opening under the force of an earthquake. On the back, a spherical motif appears in two subtly displaced halves, while the tailpiece features contrasting woods arranged in a fractured geometric composition.

These striking designs transform the idea of geological fracture into an artistic expression. Rather than dwelling on destruction, Seismic honours the resilience of those who endure it, finding beauty in the strength to move forward and the possibility of renewal.
