We've seen some of Kaspar Hamacher's excellent woodwork before, but his latest piece, "Stein No. 1," is perhaps his most minimal work yet. Intended to resemble a skipping stone, the low coffee table is carved from the trunk of an oak tree.

In anticipation of the forthcoming furniture fairs, Hamacher has released a short video of the production of an older piece, "Ausgebrannt," which actually debuted in 2010 and made festival rounds last year, but the Belgian designer only recently debuted a video the production of the piece. If you don't happen to know the concept behind the piece, the video is a nice surprise (though if you know German, you're out of luck). Go fullscreen and sit back for this one: it's a bit of a slow build, but the lush cinematography is a nice treat.
