Pirka｜CUTTING BOARD & LOW STOOL
Raute, NEPAL
Pirka is a traditional wooden household object made by the Raute people of western Nepal.
Each piece is carved from a single log using hand tools and is traditionally used as a cutting board, low stool, or simple work surface. Shaped individually according to the natural form of the wood, Pirka is characterized by its asymmetrical form and distinctive hand-carved surface.
Made without decorative embellishment, its simple form is shaped by its function and method of production. In contemporary interiors, it can also be used as a low stool, small table, plant stand, or display stand.
