Step into a home where an 80-centimetre wood-carved Buddha figure welcomes you at the entrance — and you feel the atmosphere quiet down in an instant. This sculpture is a figure carved into wood with a welcoming gesture, radiating presence and calm at once. The welcoming pose is the silent motion of greeting and receiving, making it an ideal piece for a hallway, the entry zone of a living room or a well-lit quiet corner.
The character of the carving
The sculpture is made of suar wood (also known as monkeypod) by hand-carving on the island of Bali, in traditional workshops. Carving a piece of this size takes weeks of work — the grain of the wood, the surface pattern and the fine details are unique to each piece. No two sculptures are ever perfectly identical; this is not a flaw but a characteristic of hand-made work, and it is precisely what makes every piece unrepeatable.
Where we recommend it
At 80 centimetres tall it commands a real presence in a room, so it is worth placing it where it can stand on its own: a corner of the living room, on the floor, on a low pedestal or on top of a low cabinet. With its considerable weight of 22.5 kilograms, we recommend placing it on a safe, stable surface and avoiding frequent moves. It works best alongside natural materials — linen, jute rugs, wooden furniture.
