In harmony - AGRAFA

What is the project about?

The project demonstrates that veneer in a simple implementation process can become structural, self-supporting, has the ability to withstand user loads and can be applied in a different way than being glued to different types of boards or inferior wood species. The seat is made of only three layers of birch veneer glued together with glutin glue. I have developed a method for giving veneer a form, using the knowledge of craftsmen and drawing inspiration from old methods of working with this material. Moulding is done by hand to get an understanding of the possibilities and limitations of the veneer.

What is the aim of the project?

The aim of my project was to create a seat from veneer. Making it in harmony with the environment, without toxic waste, using as little electricity as possible, doing most of the work by hand. In harmony with the user, creating a unitary object made specifically to their order.

What was the motivation?

The In harmony project was born out of a need to find balance and harmony, and it all started with a dreamy thought to sit on a veneer leaf seat. When all this is still nothing more than a dream, it is difficult to envision the final solution, but I have attempted to transform the veneer into a functioning material on its own.

Additional values

The project implementation process involved prototyping, learning lessons and refining the form. This is why I can now present several objects that demonstrate the search for form and optimal solution.
