Woud Serene Jar

The Woud Serene Jar transforms simple storage into this beautiful tactile experience that actually makes you want to keep it visible on your countertop or shelf. Designer Saif Faisal carved solid sandstone into these perfectly rounded, cylindrical forms that somehow capture that calm feeling you get when handling smooth river stones. Available in two sizes - a low version that's about 2.6 inches tall and 5 inches wide, plus a taller version at 6.3 inches high and nearly 4 inches across - they work beautifully alone or paired together for this modern sculptural arrangement. The choice between grey sandstone and rainbow sandstone gives you options depending on your space: the grey offers this sophisticated neutral presence, while the rainbow version brings warmer, more varied tones that change as light hits the natural stone patterns.

What makes the Serene really appealing is how it handles both storage and decoration without compromising either role. The low jar works perfectly for jewelry, small office supplies, or bathroom essentials like cotton swabs, while the taller version handles longer items or creates visual height in arrangements. The substantial weight of the solid sandstone means these aren't going anywhere when you place them, and the smooth surface feels incredibly satisfying to touch - there's something almost meditative about running your fingers along the natural stone texture. Since each piece shows the unique patterns and variations inherent in natural sandstone, yours will have its own character rather than looking identical to every other one. Whether you use them functionally for storage or simply as sculptural objects that happen to hold things, they bring this sense of groundedness and natural beauty to whatever room they're in.

Woud builds from Denmark with founders Mia and Torben Koed connecting international design talent with Scandinavian sensibilities, and Saif Faisal represents this global approach perfectly. Working from his interdisciplinary Studio SFDW, Faisal brings his background in architecture and cultural anthropology to create designs that feel both timeless and contemporary. His fascination with geometric forms and natural materials shows clearly in the Serene series, where simple cylindrical shapes become something more meaningful through thoughtful proportions and honest material choices. Since founding in 2014, Woud has built their reputation on collaborating with designers who understand that everyday objects should enhance daily rituals through beauty and functionality, creating pieces that work as both practical storage solutions and meaningful design elements that bring intentionality and natural warmth to modern living spaces.
