Bàle

These sculptural wooden spheres are crafted by a Friulian artisan near Martina’s family vineyard, close to the Slovenian border. Made from pieces of fallen or broken trees found in the surrounding woods—often collected after storms—each sphere is shaped and finished by hand, giving new form and purpose to salvaged materials. The maker, who prefers to remain anonymous, works slowly and intuitively, allowing the natural character of the wood to guide each piece.
