The COMB Construct Bench.


It’s difficult to believe that a design as beautiful as this is composed almost entirely of recycled materials. Named after the shape that makes up its two flexible seating points, COMB is constructed from blown out bike inner tubes and plywood leftovers. The bike tubes form the stretchy surface for the honeycomb-shaped sections that sink in to create a comfy, form-fitting seat when one drops down. When they stand, it pops back up to form a planar surface with the rest of the bench again. It’s the softer side of wood seating.

“Lo/Fi” Fashion Design By Sruli Recht.


c2644fc3df68540c75af7ef2b38e3c85

The featured “Cropped Militia Jacket” and the “Loose Sweater”, made from walnut wood material on a wool base.  Once grown, the wood is deconstructed into pieces, and then attached to a textile base, creating a material that is half wood, half textile, and completely fragmentary.  The “Wooden Textiles” in this collection are made with Elisa Strozyk, uniquely for this collection.  The simplified look of polygonal geometry is meant to represent breaking the body down into a pixelated memory.

Tokaji Wine Bottle by Szabolcs Moldovan


general 01 02 03 05

Take a look at the stunning packaging design for Tokaji wine bottle created by Szabolcs Moldovan, Romania. All elements of the packaging are hand carved by an artist, further giving it value. This would be possible due to the fact that the aim of the product is not mass production. Materials used are wood and metal/precious metals. The wood wine holder symbolizes a cathedral that protects the wine, and even after the wine is consumed, the packaging can be reused as an artwork on a shelf or table, while the label that contains precious metals can be taken off the bottle and hanged on the wall of wine cellars, to further push the idea of reusable packaging, packaging that has value, and should not be thrown away or discarded. With all the work that goes into packaging these days, it is still heartbreaking to see that they end up in the trash.

anfischer-4

Spectral Density Estimation is a pair of sculptures commissioned by the SECCA and the Winston-Salem Symphony orchestra. Two sound recordings of the first organized tuning were taken at the last 2 orchestra performances of the 2012 / 2013 season. Each recording was analyzed and transformed into a spatial arrangement of the audio frequencies over time. The resulting geometry was then carved into a block of wood from a cedar tree, that had fallen outside the museum.

Baitogogo by Henrique Oliveira


baitogogo_02 baitogogo_03 baitogogo_04

Brazilian artist Henrique Oliveira’s striking new installation “Baitogogo” has now opened at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris. The complex “network of organic materials” sees existing concrete and plaster pillars transform midway into contorted and intertwining organic material reminiscent of the Amazon rainforest. The piece is typical of Oliveira’s work, which often uses materials from the Brazilian urban landscape such as wood taken from fences surrounding and blocking access to construction sites. Through these materials, Oliveria aims to highlight the organic growth of São Paulo’s favelas as well as the “endemic and parasitic nature of these constructions.” Inspiration is also drawn from medical textbooks and studies of physical pathologies such as tumors.

Argentinian architectural practice Fritz + Fritz Arquitectos and Analia Messina have designed  project. The beautiful property can be found in Lujan, a province of Buenos Aires, Argentina.  It is a single-family house project which was designed from its orientation and environmental characteristics. The house relates with the environment by its transparency and also introducing three patios, that divide the different areas of the house, mostly solved on the ground floor. The ground floor is connected to the master bedroom by a contemporary stair. On the south face of the house, the main access and all the services were located in order to generate a total permeability to the north side and the environment. The use of materials such as concrete, glass and wood where used to achieve architectural synthesis.

Don Café House by Innarch


09

Innarch have designed the Don Café House in Pristina, Kosovo. The idea / inspiration for the design derives from sack filled with coffee grains. The walls of the bar are organically shaped and colored like coffee sack made up of “Plywood” type of wood, whereby the pillars in between are coated with textile coffee sacks. Tables and hanging chandeliers represent the coffee grains lined up asymmetrically in order to generate the impression of being inside a coffee sack. The separating wall has a double function; decorative and functional. Its organic shape consists the most dominant part of the premise enabling a unique feeling of sitting unlike any other one comes across in everyday life. Each of the plywood element was designed individually.

Re-Design of Alice Tully Hall


Alice Tully Hall 02.23.09 f6d066a78f45c80eb8ef9744041c5304

The re-design of Alice Tully Hall is intended to transform the venue from a good multi-purpose hall into a premiere chamber music venue with street identity and upgraded functionality for all performance needs. Tucked under The Juilliard School, the opaque base of Pietro Belluschi’s building is stripped away to reveal the hall’s outer shell. The sloped underside of Juilliard’s expansion serves as the canopy framing the hall, its expanded lobby and box office. A shear one-way cable net glass façade puts the hall on display. The liner of African moabi is tailored around all existing hall features and new programmatic elements to eliminate visual noise and illumination emerges from the wood skin the way a bioluminescent marine organism exudes an internal glow. A percentage of the wood liner is constructed of translucent custom-molded resin panels surfaced in veneer to match and blend seamlessly with the wood, binding the house and stage with light. Like the raising of a chandelier or the parting of a curtain signaling the start of performance, the blush will be part of the performance choreography: a hush will fall in the seconds of transition from distraction to attention when the blushing walls become the first performer.

Brick Loft In Vancouver


One of the main goal behind the new re-design of this Vancouver based loft was to give more lightings to have a better place to live. And besides having a main courtyard to which everything lead, Omer Arbel had the idea of combining wood & brick to create a certain tension between the two elements, highlighting light and diversity in the same rooms. The rendering is particularly impressive.

Wooden Carpet.


German textile designer Elisa Strozyk is showcasing her wooden textiles carpet made from veneer offcuts. Her technique in creating this piece is to laser cut the veneer pieces and bond them onto fabric. The wooden carpet can lie flat on the floor, but can also be playfully positioned due to its surprisingly flexible form. Conceptually, her work intends to look at materials in new ways. She is interested in re-evaluating our presumptions about the resources we use, especially as our environmental wealth continually diminishes today.

Folding Wood


Dutch digital manufacturing company snijlab has developed new possibilities of working with wood. Using laser cutting technique they make tiny cuts in wooden sheets that allow it to be flexible. Once processed the wood can be fully bent in both directions without breaking. Snijlab makes wooden booklets with the bendable wood technique. The cover is a single sheet of wood cut from a beautiful birch plywood and finished with a clear varnish. cuts in the middle allow the cover to be flexed open and really; It’s only wood! A tiny clamp, made of the same material, holds a standard a7 writing block inside. With this design we want to show the great possibilities of digital manufacturing. By using manufacturing techniques like this in products it is possible to make all product features in only one production step and a single material. Only one machine is needed and material supply is easy. This cuts down production effort and logistics and also makes for a beautifully simple product because a laser cutter is a fairly common tool these products could also be manufactured locally, all over the world. That saves transport. By working from flat materials the products can also be flat-packed, saving even more resources and costs on shipping. These kind of advantages make digital production a great new way of making things.

Wood Paneled… Cupcakes?


The baking genius known as Nellie Cakes posted a photo of a rough version of these cupcake wrappers on NellieCakes.com, around summer time and since has been bombarded by request for the actual product.
It took a while, but they’re finally finished and they look insanely good.  They look exactly like wood paneling, down to the slight gloss of the real thing. They stand a half inch out of a standard cupcake tray so they will fully cover standard liners but you should still be able to see the icing and/or cupcake after wrapping them.

Subtractive Art Pieces (Alexandre Farto).


Portuguese-born, London-based artist Alexandre Farto (Vhils) creates arresting portraits by breaking away pieces of walls. He takes his subtractive art to not only galleries and exhibition spaces but also the streets, creating larger-than-life figures in the midst of urban and underused space. Vhils generally first sketches out each piece in spraypaint, before beginning the painstaking process of chipping, sawing, and drilling away at the wall to various depths. He will often add additional color or shading to the newly exposed portions of the wall, creating a visual interplay between the untouched surface, original painted figure, and layers of underlying material. In addition to work on walls, Farto has series of subtractive portraits done by tearing away portions of billboards and posters, as well as in metal and wood.

Gresso X iPad.


When I saw that the luxury manufacturer Gresso is producing an iPad made from African Blackwood and 18k gold, and I instantly thought of Reginald Sylvester and Carlo P.  It’s your standard iPad encased in a 200 year old African Blackwood sheath that is said to have become Gresso’s hallmark.  Boasted of being the ‘most valuable tree in the world’, the wood is prized due to the elegant rich ebony look that it renders.  African Blackwood is tough owing to some of its natural features and the unique processing technology that has been patented by its designer.  The company claims that no two iPads manufactured by them will be alike, each shows off its own uniqueness.  The iPod Gresso dropped New Year’s Eve, but there’s not official word on how much it costs.
