WOOD - GLASS - GOLD - BRASS
The inspiration for the collection came from the energetic and spiritual quality of the woodlands. The act of walking through the forest and contemplating the light hitting through the canopy of leaves fosters reflection about oneself and on the surrounding world. The forest environment is living in balance with the presence of men, carrying the ambiguous quality of being a man-made, yet a de-anthropised ecosystem – an osmotic borderland where the encounter and interaction of man with nature is possible and favoured.
In this respect, woodlands stand as chosen ground for a renewal of man‘s mystical and ancestral relationship with nature, and as such it must be respected and preserved for generations to come. The project is intended as a reminder of this sacred dimension of the relationship with the woodlands.
The CREPUSCULAR Collection is made from cherry wood, cherry and thuya veneer, glass and brass. The craft behind the table shows a unique match of traditional manufacturing and precision technology. All wooden parts are CNC-machined through a 5-axis robotic arm and masterfully finished by the carpentry workshop Kumpusch in Gleinstätten. The glass table top elements were designed with a trompe-l’oeil effect to simulate a stained glass window effect. Glass parts were water-cut, partly mirrored, and assembled through laminating in the historical workshop of Gustav Van Treeck. A coloured screen printed foil is applied on top, to create the impression of gradient-hued glass and golden veins. The foil technology is traditionally used for security glass composition.
In the pursue of perfection, the excellence of craftmanship is aided by the precision of advanced manufacturing technologies.
