水杉最初被認為已經滅絕,僅從化石紀錄中得知,直到1941年在中國發現了一株活體標本。1939年,在日本發現了一種類似常綠紅杉的化石,由發現者三木茂博士命名為Metasequoia。其存在後來於1945年在中國得到證實,因此被稱為「活化石」。在此發現之後,幼苗被帶到日本,現在全國各地都可以看到水杉。當果實成熟並轉為棕色時,它會打開釋放出圓形、有翅的種子。這反映了人類自古以來對時間的迷戀,從發現保存著百萬年生命的古老琥珀開始。我們想要凍結時間的渴望,可能源於對我們存在更深的好奇,或是希望捕捉轉瞬即逝的美。Sola Cubes由京都的Usage No Nedoko精心製作,體現了這種哲學。這些立方體結合了日本傳統對自然的敬畏和對被忽略元素的欣賞。每個立方體封裝在手工拋光的晶瑩透明丙烯酸樹脂中,保存著一片葉子、種子或花朵,提供了一個冥想般凝視自然之美的機會——類似於Kuramata的「Miss Blanche」,但使用真實的有機材料。

The little cube sits on my shelf and honestly looks like a tiny piece of living history—the grain is so intricate it's hard to believe this tree was only known from fossils until the 1940s. It's a subtle conversation starter that doesn't scream for attention, which is exactly what I wanted.

The story behind this wood—a species once only known from fossils—is what sold me, and the cube itself feels like a little piece of history sitting on my shelf. It’s a great conversation starter, and the texture is surprisingly smooth to the touch.

I've had this cube on my desk for a few weeks now and keep finding myself just picking it up to feel the grain. The weight of the sola wood is substantial, and the fossil-like history gives it a quiet, ancient presence that fits perfectly with my other natural decor. It's a small thing, but it spark
