Chung Dai comes from the third generation of a woodworking family in Binh Dinh - a region famous for precious hardwoods and old-school craftsmanship. Around the workshop, he’s the man people trust with the hardest pieces: tree trunk furniture and log benches, the kind of work where you have to understand the whole tree before you even think about touching a chisel to it.

“My grandfather carved tools for rice fields. I carve shelves for homes in New York City. Same hands. Same wood. Different world.”
Chung Dai comes from the third generation of a woodworking family in Binh Dinh - a region famous for precious hardwoods and old-school craftsmanship. Around the workshop, he’s the man people trust with the hardest pieces: tree trunk furniture and log benches, the kind of work where you have to understand the whole tree before you even think about touching a chisel to it.
Not a single log bench he’s made has ever been returned.
To most craftsmen, that would sound like a proud achievement. To Chung Dai, that’s just the minimum standard for leaving the workshop.

Transform your interior into an art gallery with our Biomorphic Solid Wood Sculptural Bench. Hand-carved from a substantial mass of genuine timber, this museum-grade accent settee balances continuous liquid contours with ergonomic support, proving that functional everyday seating can serve as fine modern sculpture.
The Presence of Authentic Solid Wood
Natural Grain & Rich Heartwood: Handcrafted entirely from 100% genuine solid timber without synthetic veneers, displaying prominent swirling growth rings, organic knot eyes, and a warm honey-amber luster.
Seamless Hand-Sculpted Contours: Every flowing edge, rounded arm crest, and open back aperture is shaped and sanded silky-smooth by hand, preserving the living character and authentic tactile warmth of real wood.
Why Choose This Piece: Sculptural Form Meets Utility
Functional Living Sculpture: Features a contoured horizontal seat that provides comfortable, grounded seating for two while anchoring the room like a standalone museum installation.
Continuous Liquid Architecture: The fluid backrest void and sweeping legs create captivating negative space, casting dynamic natural shadows throughout the day.
Monolithic Floor Stability: Carved with heavy, grounded foot bases that sit flush against polished concrete, tile, or hardwood floors without requiring additional brackets.
Ideal Placements
Grand Foyers & Gallery Spaces: Serves as a commanding centerpiece in expansive entrance halls, minimalist art corridors, or alongside floor-to-ceiling glass walls.
Curated Modern Interiors: Complements open-plan living rooms, luxury master suites, and commercial boutique lounges styled in Organic Modern, Japandi, Wabi-Sabi, or Contemporary Brutalist aesthetics.
Honest Limitations
Living Timber Traits: Because genuine solid wood naturally breathes, subtle color shifts, authentic grain swirls, and minor seasonal movement are natural hallmarks of authentic timber.
Substantial Weight: Due to the dense volume of authentic solid wood, this bench carries considerable weight; two or more people are recommended when lifting and positioning.
Custom Dimensions & Thickness
Custom Length & Height: Fully made to order to match specific foyer widths, bench seating depths, or wall alcove proportions.
Adjustable Slab Thickness: Built with a sturdy standard carving thickness for optimal structural support; custom thicker profiles for a bolder mass or slimmer silhouettes can be accommodated upon request (thickness adjustments incur an extra fee).
To discuss custom dimensions, tailored timber finishes, or custom thickness options, please Contact Customer Support for a personalized quote.
Furniture Placement
Position your furniture away from direct sunlight, or use blinds or curtains to reduce sun exposure.
Always set your furniture on a level surface to preserve its balance and structure.
Cleaning & Upkeep
Regularly wipe down your furniture with a soft, dry, or slightly damp cloth.
Avoid using harsh chemicals like bleach or ammonia, as these can ruin the finish and damage the wood.
Weight Capacity & Use
Respect the recommended weight limit for each piece to ensure its durability.
When moving furniture, lift it instead of dragging or pushing to prevent surface scratches or joint damage.
Preventing Mold & Mildew
Quickly wipe up any spills to stop moisture from penetrating the wood.
In areas with high humidity, use a dehumidifier to maintain an ideal moisture balance.

Every plank carries its own grain, color, and knots. These aren't flaws - they are time's signature, the fingerprint of a tree that lived for decades. When you touch a Ashdeco table, you're touching the years it stood through.

Everything you need to know about our pieces, commissions, and care.
How long does shipping take?
In Vietnam: 3-5 days. International: 10-14 days. Larger pieces (tables, cabinets) may take longer due to custom crating. All shipments include tracking and insurance.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes, we ship worldwide. Shipping is calculated by weight + dimensions at checkout. You'll see the exact quote before paying.
How long does a commission take?
4-8 weeks depending on complexity. A 6-seater dining table takes ~6 weeks, a console cabinet ~4 weeks, a large sideboard ~8 weeks.
50% deposit is required when you confirm sketches. The remaining 50% is due when the piece is finished, before shipping. Full refund within 48 hours of deposit if you change your mind.
How do I take care of my wood piece?
Wipe with a damp cloth — no chemicals. Apply wood oil 1-2 times per year (we include a starter bottle). Avoid direct sunlight and big humidity changes.
What if my piece develops cracks?
Wood expands and contracts with humidity — minor cracks are natural and part of the material. Major cracks within the first year: we fix free. After 1 year, we charge labor only.
Can I return a piece?
Ready-made pieces: 30-day returns (must arrive intact). Commissions: final sale (since they're custom-made for you). If anything arrives damaged, we'll repair or replace at no cost.
