DEOS Architecture's Chunky Old-Growth Oak Seating

There's something really charming about these chunky, sort of art-totem Miorita furniture pieces. It's also shocking that they're made out of gigantic pieces of old-growth Oak, which are scarce in America; but DEOS Architecture, the firm that created the pieces, is based in Moldova. Romania still has large tracts of old-growth forest, with some stands reportedly being 300-400 years old. So these pieces appeal to me partially for the primitive, designer-as-child form, and primarily out of raw material envy. DEOS is producing them in a limited run only, for €1,000 ($1,180) a pop.
