balance through asymmetry
harmony through tension
alignment through void
In keeping with the spirit of the piece, I sought to utilize traditional methods as well as materials.
Alder wood
- Through the construction of this piece, I honed skills including construction, shaping, and technical drawing.
Mortise + Tenon joinery
Internal Domino joinery
- This piece could be a modular, flat-pack design, as tightly fitting mortise + tenon joints are incredible stable.
Danish Soap Finish
- Gentle on the environment and our bodies, this environmentally friendly finish was chosen for its nontoxic properties as well practical and aesthetic reasons. Soap finish has historically been used on hardwood flooring, as it protects the wood without altering its natural state. It is simple to reapply and maintain.
