SHOAL is a handmade sculptural piece by JOIA, inspired by the movement and rhythm of a shoal of fish. Crafted with natural wood, cotton cords, and layered beads in warm earthy tones with deep blue accents, this piece evokes collective flow, ocean currents, and the quiet intelligence of nature in motion.
Carved wooden fish anchor the tassel, reinforcing themes of abundance, protection, life, and continuity. The intertwined strands and varied textures create a sense of fluidity and depth, as if shaped by tides and time.
Designed as a decorative art object, SHOAL can be styled on coffee tables, console tables, shelves, or curated surfaces, bringing texture, symbolism, and a calm yet dynamic presence to interior spaces.
