Woodturning: when wood comes to life in a spiral

Do you love the smell of freshly cut wood?

The calm of a workshop filled with golden wood dust? Or maybe just wooden objects that seem to have a soul? Then get ready, because today we’re taking you into an art that’s both hypnotic and poetic: woodturning.

The wood spins… and so do we

Woodturning isn’t just spinning a piece of wood fast to shape it.

It’s like dancing with the material. As if the artisan and the wood are moving together in a slow waltz. The artisan uses sharp tools to follow the curves the wood is willing to share.

The wood shows its grain, its knots, its surprises – a silent conversation between two artists. There are no moulds here. No copies.

Each piece is one of a kind. A decorative object, a vase, a tealight holder or a cup… all are born from the same circular gesture, but each one is different. We spin, we carve, we polish.

And when it stops? You’re left with something that feels truly real and alive.

And for you, what difference does it make?

Because it’s real, solid, and local. Every piece is handmade in Belgium, in a workshop where every detail matters. Gauthier personally selects the wood and turns each object one by one — with care and precision no factory can match.

Because it’s beautiful and useful.

His creations fit naturally into your home. They’re made to last, to be used, to bring beauty to your everyday life. Not just pretty things — but objects that live with you.

Because this is true craftsmanship.

No fakes, no copy-paste designs. Just real skill, genuine passion, and a unique personal style.

And the best part?

His pieces are available exclusively on Wimzzi, with no middleman, and in limited editions.

A beautiful way to support Belgian craftsmanship and make your daily life more meaningful.
