STARTED AS AN IDEA TO EXPERIMENT WITH THE QUALITY OF LIGHT AND TEST THE LASER CUTTINGTECHNIQUE TO THE FULLEST POTENTIAL. WE FOCUSED ON EXPLOITING : JOINTS, MATERIAL, ANGLES AND STRUCTURAL STABILITY.
WE CAME ACROSS AN EFFECT – ” MOIRÉ “ WHICH REALLY INSPIRED US. THE MAIN OBJECTIVE OF OUR DESIGN PROCESS WAS TO TWIST THE WOOD TO THE MAXIMUM POINT AND CREATE HETEROGENEOUS, NONLINEAR LIGHT PATTERN.
FOR OUR TEST PRINT, WE HAD A MODULE. ONCE IT WAS CUT AND SOAKED, HAVING DISCUSSED FURTHER, WE REALIZED THE AMENDMENTS AND IMPROVED THE FORM FURTHER BY WORKING WITH PROPORTIONATE ANGLES AND STRENGTHENING OUR JOINTS.
FINALLY, CAME THE FORM, COMPLETELY TWISTED AND LAYERED.
