Sculpted Bench in Black from Oak Wood by Desia Ava
About the Item
Inspiration behind Sculpted bench:
What looks as a solid pile of 6 wooden planks on top of each other is in fact only 1 solid wooden plank (the top one) and just the outlines of the other 5 planks so that the interior of the bench is in fact empty. This construction technique has been used to save material which results in a more sustainable and a less heavy object.
The bench has been further carved and sculpted with a wood grinder tool, the top has been polished and as final step I have applied 3 even layers of black matte stain.
The inspiration behind this work is connected to the aesthetics of the Japanese movement Mono-ha. I wanted to create a sculpted bench that would look minimalist and crafted at the same time and be composed of the same repeating element. The shape was inspired by piles of wooden planks that I often see stacked together in industrial context. I employed traditional wood carving techniques in a modern way and used the colour black to define the piece and give more depths to the shadows created by the sculpted shapes.
