The surface consists of tangential layers of oak, veneered at an angle on top of each other, and carefully sanded down into a pattern inspired by the veining of sedimentary rock. The combination of wood grain patterns and stone vein formations creates a mesmerizing texture that draws the mind toward root or burl wood, yet is distinctly different through its repetition and distortion.The technique developed has its roots in conventional intarsia inlay, but inorder to find an expression more organic and naturally occurring, thegraphical nature of cut-out veneering has been replaced by an extensiveprocess of sanding down transitions between overlapping veneers. Continuing the approach of interpreted nature; all angles, shapes, and proportions of the cabinet relate to pi and the golden ratio. The subsurface of Strata is prepared to compensate for the irregularities caused by the sanding, resulting in a perfectly flush surface. The cabinet is finished with a glossy lacquer and a wax coating.SNICKERIET is a furniture studio with an explorative approach to traditional woodworking craft and philosophy.
