Segmento Pine Logs Bench By Cara Davide

Segmento pine logs bench by cara davide dimensions: w 115 x d 28.5 x h 43 cm. Materials: pine logs. Color: light brown. Also available in dark brown. Segmento perceives ordinary objects in an abstracted form through the act of breaking down and reassembling material. Thick logs, solid and linear, are cut into segments and reassembled into compact and curving lines to create furniture of a fractured and angular nature, never symmetrical and different from any perspective. As the initial form of the material is as important as the outcome, the finish is either lightly stained or left transparent, allowing the essence to remain visible. Design studio based in milan, is a collaboration between cara judd (south africa) and davide gramatica (italy). Graduating in product design from ied milan, cara and davide started their professional careers in diverse areas ranging from apprenticing with artisans to working with industrial companies before merging their experience in 2016. They work in the fields of product design, event curation and offer creative consultancy to studios and private clients. Cara and davide both lecture in the product design department at ied milan. Passionate about craftsmanship, they also produce their own series of products working together with artisans in italy and south africa. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker.
