The tree made the openings
The Arenal Light began as one slab — a monolith with voids, cracks, and hollows the tree formed over decades. Nothing was carved. We squared the block, polished the faces to a satin furniture finish, and left every opening exactly where the tree put it.
The light comes from below. A warm source at the base pools on the floor around the piece and rises inside it, escaping through the voids like embers inside the wood. By day it stands as sculpture; after dark it becomes the quiet center of the room.
At over three meters — about twice a person's height — it is made for the spaces that receive people: entrance halls, lobbies, double-height rooms. There is exactly one, because exactly one slab grew this way.
