The base is surprisingly sturdy for something so minimalist, and the way the lines shift as you walk around it is genuinely clever. I set a dried branch in it and the cross silhouette appeared exactly as described. It’s one of those pieces that makes you look twice every single day.

I was a bit skeptical at first, but once I placed a dried eucalyptus branch in the Tronchetto, the cross shape really emerged and transformed the whole look of my shelf. The way it plays with light and shadow is surprisingly meditative.

The shape really does change depending on how you look at it, which I wasn't expecting from a photo. I've got it empty on my windowsill right now and it reads as a soft cross silhouette, though it'll probably look totally different once I add a stem. Heavier than it looks, too, which I like.
