CN Long Skiff Vessel

The Skiff Vessel/Tray by Christian Nyberg is a sculptural ode to both motion and stillness—an elongated, charred wood form that resembles a canoe drifting across still water. Its tapered silhouette and gently scooped center recall the graceful lines of a skiff, while the deep blackened finish, achieved through traditional charring, adds a sense of permanence and elemental drama. Textural details like the preserved central knot and subtle grain undulations offer a tactile narrative of the wood’s former life. A small brass inlay punctuates the form with a quiet glint, elevating the piece into the realm of contemporary art. Whether styled on a tabletop or mounted as a wall piece, it brings sculptural presence and quiet intrigue to any setting.
