At Andrianna Shamaris, we believe furniture should tell a story—one that spans millions of years. Few materials do so as powerfully as  petrified wood, a fossilized relic of ancient forests transformed by time, mineral-rich water, and volcanic forces.

Each piece in our collection is a one-of-a-kind testament to nature’s slow, deliberate artistry. Sourced from licensed volcanic sites across Indonesia, these slabs begin their journey 40 to 225 million years ago—long before humans walked the earth.

From Forest to Fossil: The Petrified Process

Imagine a towering tree, buried under layers of volcanic ash and sediment. Over millennia, groundwater carrying dissolved silica seeps into the wood’s cellular structure. Molecule by molecule, the organic matter is replaced by quartz crystal, preserving every ring, knot, and texture in stunning detail.

The result? A stone that looks like wood but endures like marble—resistant to warping, cracking, and time itself.

Why Designers Choose Petrified Wood:

Today’s top interior designers are moving beyond traditional hardwoods toward materials with provenance and permanence. Petrified wood fits perfectly into the modern organic and fossil luxury movements—styles that blend raw natural beauty with refined, minimalist spaces.

– Unrepeatable Patterns: No two logs are alike.

-Sculptural Presence: Ideal as dining tables, consoles, coffee tables, side tables, countertops, or standalone art.

-Carbon-Negative by Nature: Zero trees are cut. These fossils were formed long before sustainability was a concern.

Caring for Your Petrified Wood Piece

Remarkably durable and low maintenance:

– Dust with a soft cloth

– Avoid harsh cleaners—warm water suffices

– Use coasters under glasses to prevent minor etching

A Material That Outlives Trends

In a world of fast furniture, petrified wood reminds us that true luxury is measured in geological time. It’s not just a table—it’s a fragment of deep earth history, hand-selected from Indonesia’s volcanic heart and crafted to live in your home for generations.
