Shells Iroko Rectangular - Organic Geometry in Horizontal Form
Where the circular WAVE captures infinity, the rectangular format tells a different story. This elongated sculpture in premium African iroko transforms shell-inspired organic patterns into horizontal narrative - spirals that flow across space rather than radiating from center, curves that guide the eye on a journey rather than drawing it inward.
Horizontal Organic Architecture
The rectangular canvas allows shell patterns to unfold across distance. What appears as concentric spirals in circular format becomes a flowing sequence here - like watching waves approach a shore, like tracing growth rings across a fallen tree, like following the path of a river carving through landscape. The format changes the story while maintaining the mathematical elegance.
The Golden Ratio, Extended
Fibonacci sequences don't only spiral - they also extend linearly. This rectangular interpretation explores shell geometry in horizontal progression, where each carved curve relates to the next through natural mathematical relationships. The result feels both organic and intentional, natural yet sophisticated - nature's architecture expressed through human craft.
Iroko's Directional Beauty
In rectangular format, African iroko's grain becomes part of the composition. The wood's natural linear patterns - those honey-toned streaks running through golden-brown base - interact with carved horizontal flows, creating layers of direction and movement. Light traveling across the length reveals how grain and carving work together, how natural and human-made patterns can enhance rather than compete.
Architectural Context
This format serves specific spatial needs - above consoles where circles would overwhelm, along hallways where horizontal emphasis guides movement, in spaces where width matters more than height. It brings shell-inspired organic beauty to contexts that demand horizontal solutions, proving that natural forms can adapt to architectural requirements without losing their essence.
Scale & Presence
Available in multiple rectangular dimensions, from intimate to architectural. At larger scales, this becomes a landscape of organic patterns - a horizontal field where shell-inspired curves create rhythm and flow across substantial distance. The carved depth creates shadow patterns that shift throughout the day, making the piece a living element that responds to light.
Craft at the Highest Level
Each Shells Rectangular represents days of master-level carving. The rectangular format actually increases complexity - maintaining pattern consistency across extended horizontal distance requires exceptional skill. The iroko is selected for grain quality and color consistency, then hand-carved to create flowing patterns that work with the wood's natural character.

Installation & Presentation
Ships in custom-built reinforced crate designed for rectangular format protection. Premium installation hardware included, with detailed instructions for proper mounting. Professional installation recommended for larger dimensions due to weight distribution across horizontal span.
For Discerning Collectors
This piece speaks to those who understand that format changes meaning, that the same organic inspiration can tell different stories through different shapes, that true craft adapts natural beauty to architectural reality without compromise. It's for spaces that need horizontal solutions but refuse to sacrifice artistic integrity.
