Old Forms / New Designs
Exhibited at Made Design as part of DesignTO 2021
This new work engages industrial and craft manufacturing processes and examines support structures to arrive at simplified design forms that exhibit their material origins. The title is a nod to the common and simple sketch forms that inspired these designs.
Camp Bench v1, 2021
Turned Cedar Log, Black Cast Concrete, Water Based Finish72” x 16” x 8”
A large cedar log, turned smooth, rests atop black cast concrete legs. The design is inspired by the classic backwoods ‘campsite bench’ and is a nod to the earliest forms of seating. Available in several variations, including cedar, douglas fir, and maple veneer, along with options for feet made from hand carved Canadian granite, limestone, or cast concrete. During the process of selecting and turning timbers, an alternative design using a maple veneer was also explored and is available as a Version 2 below.
