LatheScapes – An exploration of woodturned forms, is a material exploration project that aims to investigate how woodturning can serve as a resource to generate ideas and as a structural frame for my work.
By investigating different techniques used in the craft, I intend to explore how traditional woodturning forms can meet contemporary design, by developing different furniture prototypes using woodturning as a central part, may it be as a technique or as a sketching tool.
My approach to this project was to start by doing as much exploration as possible. My two main axes of research were using green wood and exploring the forms obtainable on the lathe. I later translated what I’ve learn/explored into pieces of furniture: a side table using only woodturning as a form-giver technique and not as a manufacturing methode, associated with a stool that emphasize these lathe-given form, by using the negative form of the legs and having the oposite approach of using woodturning as a production method. As for the lamps, the idea was to use (green) woodturning as a manufacturing method, but mainly creating objects that showcase the natural properties of the wood, how once turned it will continue living by cracking, drying into unpredictable forms.
