Organic Cube

The structure is physically static, yet changeable through the viewer and the sun's position that through the day opens and closes for the light to pass. Depending on the light and angle (time and place) the lines from the two modes interfere and one of the two forms dominate.

project details:

materials: 1000m laths, dimension 45x45mm.

leftovers: the excess material from the cuts were used to make smaller
furniture cubes to sit or play with, leaving less than 0.5% waste material.

“Autarky” is an installation a collection of functional and durable vessels and lamps, naturally desiccated or low temperature baked, are produced with a bio-material composed of 70% flour ( bloem ), 20% agricultural waste ( agrarisch afval ), and 10% natural limestone. ( natuurlijke kalksteen ) The differences in the colour palette are obtained by the selection of distinct vegetables (groenten), spices (kruiden) and roots(wortels) that are dried, boiled or filtered for their natural dyes.

Anne Kyyro Quinn's bespoke 3D textiles make decorative yet practical wall coverings suitable for commercial and residential projects. The felt is cut, manipulated & sewn to create rich textures and patterns that play with light & shade, creating optical illusions.

The main material, felt, absorbs sound and reduces noise levels significantly. The intricately structured surface design creates tiny cavities that absorb sound waves into the layer of fabric underneath. Kyyrö Quinn’s acoustic textile panels have been certified by sound testing laboratories, achieving an international performance standard confirming an effective reduction in reflective sound levels.

Textile designer Anne Kyyrö Quinn (born in Finland in1965) has been based in London since 1986. For her final project at the London Metropolitan University, she studied the interplay of light and shadow on the surface of felt, which sparked her ongoing interest in felt as a material. Kyyrö Quinn was one of the first designers to rediscover felt and update it for the twenty-first century. Kyyrö Quinn broke fresh ground when she used the material to pioneer a striking range of three-dimensional textiles. She established her own design studio in London in 1999.

BOIS ET HABITAT - Namur Expo - 27 maart '11

Op de beurs heb ik contact gelegd met Kris Rabaut van http://www.fragment.be/
In zijn zelf ontworpen houtatelier maakt hij meubels op maat. Let vooral op de interessante verbindingen. Met een beperkt aantal mogelijkheden (geen gigantische schrijnwerkerij/zonder CNC) weet hij bijzondere meubels te vervaardigen.
