Kythe Seat

The Kythe Seat is a handcrafted by Lex Williams from Red American Oak. This sculptural piece celebrates the materiality and softness of the timber, where each aspect allows individual interpretation. Lex's approach to creating is impulsive - allowing for spontaneous and uncontrived works that reflect and celebrate the character of the material. Made to order in Byron Bay, each piece is unique. Available in two finishes, natural or shou sugi ban. About the Collection: Liminality - from the Latin word ‘limen’ meaning threshold - is in anthropology the quality of ambiguity or disorientation that occurs in the middle stage of a rite of passage. In this phase the participant no longer holds their pre-ritual status but has not yet begun the transition to the status they will hold the the rite is complete. During the rite’s liminal stage, participants ’stand at the threshold’ between their previous way of structuring their identity, time or community, and a new way - which the completing rite establishes. Each piece is one of a kind and hand made in Byron Bay. Please get in touch and provide your postcode for a shipping quote as this is a heavy/fragile item that needs to be handled with care.
