Gentle depth in autumn tones

“Autumn Forest” is a sculptural wood wall artwork built from layered, hand-cut pine blocks, each one stained, painted and finished to reveal warm transitions of ochre, amber, rust and soft green. The composition stacks vertical forms at different heights to create movement and depth, like sunlit trees shifting in a breeze. Mounted on a matt-black birch plywood backer, this one-of-a-kind piece is ready to hang and instantly turns a room into a calm, colourful focal point.

FAQs

Is it heavy? Can I hang it alone?
At ~10 kg most people can hang it solo with a drill; two people make it easier to level.
Will colours look exactly the same in person?
Photos are taken in natural light; expect subtle, beautiful variation - part of the charm of handcrafted wood.
Can you make a matching pair?
Yes - made-to-order with the same palette and rhythm, sized for your wall.

Styling Tips

• Works beautifully above a sofa or sideboard (1.2 m width sits well over standard furniture)
• Pair with textured neutrals - linen, bouclé, clay ceramics - to let the colours sing
• Warm white lighting enhances the autumn tones

Behind the Scenes

Inspired by a tree in our garden slowly changing colours in autumn, from greens to soft golds to deeper reds. This piece maps that change with stacked blocks, fine score lines, and warm tones.
