215: Compilation of Word List

what3words is the easiest way to describe any precise location. It has divided the world into 3 meter squares and given each one a unique identifier made from three words. -what3words I am currently using a copy and paste methodology to compile a list of words that are identifiers of Cloondroon Lake. As seen in the image below, the Lake covers a fair amount of surface area made up of the 3m…

Material Encountes by Mentsen

Wood is one of the most well cherished resources in human history, and our ancestors knew how to use it and live with it well. And its wide range of patterns and warmth of the texture comfort us and stimulate our sensitivity.

Material Encounters is Mentsen’s exploration of the conversation with materials – wood and paper in this case – and the layers of chance encounters: thinking about the journey of the material which is the intersection of various decision makings by multiple parties on different reasons; pure beauty and emotional value of meetings of different materiality; and what we make with them.  

Invited by Carl Hansen & Søn, Mentsen produced a series of woodblock prints and mobile sculptures made with the offcuts material from the Carl Hansen & Søn’s production of their iconic pieces, celebrating the material and chance encounters. 

There are a number of encounters and decision making involved in the timber production process, from cutting down the tree to milling it to a certain dimensions to drying over a year, and then machining to finally becoming a part of a chair, a table or a house. The figure on the surface of a plank is a unique story of a tree, a result of a number of these encounters and decisions made by multiple parties along the way. 

In furniture production, uniformity and consistency of the materials are key to achieve best results. There’s a great skill in reading the figure and grain of the wood, assessing suitability for the particular purpose. And which inevitably produces pieces that fall below the standard, or sawn off and end up as surplus. Knots, checks, pips, burrs and colour streaks, unique characters in the wrong context become undesirable defects. 

But the resource deemed unsuitable for one use does not mean waste, and there are other applications that celebrate the unexpected. Or different parts have different uses. We often joke that paper is more wood than MDF. Wood is one of the most well used resources in human history, and our ancestors knew how to use it and live with it well.

On design projects, we actively search for something in material, be it the strength, the size, particular figure, etc. But at the same time, what’s left from this elimination process becomes a new potential idea for making something else. As a studio that works in both designing and making, we found this very interesting.
