Craft and materials:

Each vase is a testament to individual craftsmanship
The unique technique used in creating this piece involves a meticulous process that combines traditional craftsmanship with innovative methods that I have honed over the last years. Here’s a more detailed look:

1 - Selection of Wood (reclaimed): Each piece of wood is carefully selected for its unique grain and texture, ensuring that every volume has its own distinct character.

2 - Preparation and Shaping: The wood is than precisely cut using a CNC cutting machine for an accurate replication of my original design.

3 - Hand-Finishing: Each piece is hand-finished, a process that involves careful sanding to achieve a smooth surface. This step highlights the wood natural texture.

4 - Dye Application: Using water-based dyes, the recycled wood fibreboard is hand-dyed in a way that enhances its original texture. This eco-friendly approach not only adds vibrant hues but also ensures that all textures remains visible and tactile.

5 - Varnishing: A special varnish is applied to protect the wood. This varnish is also water-based, aligning with the environmentally conscious ethos of the artwork.

6 - Assembly and polishing: Finally, the colored and varnished parts are carefuly assembled using dowel-joint joinery techniques. Everything is carefuly polished to obtain a refined surface and give it a subtle sheen, creating a striking contrast that emphasizes the minimalist design.
