BLEND-Closet ²⁰¹⁹

The BLEND project wants to show how sawing techniques change the appearance of wood. You get striped patterns when you split the trunk lengthways into four pieces and then turn it into planks – this is called quarter sawing. Plain sawing - sawing lengthways - produces flame patterns. In BLEND objects you can see them both together, which is very unusual. The blue colour emphasizes the woodgrain, and the designer also plays with inlay work and the grain directions of the wood.
