Turned fruit in Swiss stone pine — an apple and a pear at natural size. They sit in a bowl, stand on a windowsill or travel on as a small gift.

Each piece is turned from a single block of wood and keeps its pine fragrance for years. Only the stalk is inserted, which is why grain and colour differ from piece to piece.

They need almost no care: dust them with a dry cloth and keep them out of permanent direct sun, which bleaches the wood.

Where the wood comes from, and why a Swiss pine needs two hundred years before a trunk can be worked, is told in Swiss stone pine: a tree that takes its time.
