How do we value our resouces?
Through three chairs, I examine the relationship between material, form, and value—each chair reflecting a different stage in the transformation of birch.
VED 1
chair
Made from Norwegian birch firewood, VED 1 highlights the contrast between raw and refined. The curved, bark-covered outside is left untouched, while the inner surfaces are planed and shaped—revealing the beauty that lies within the log.
VED 2
chair
A continuation of VED 1, VED 2 refines the original concept through turning, sanding, and finishing.The firewood form remains visible, but the result is cleaner, softer, and more precise—an evolution in both craftsmanship and expression.
FIREWOOD
children’s chair
A playful take on the same material story, this chair features a seat made from repeating half-cylinders, echoing the split forms of firewood.
A fiery orange linoleum inlay adds durability—and a bold contrast to the pale birch.
