I wanted to share my daily experience of being
close to wood through sight and touch to enhance aspects of wood that are
usually hidden. In the case of Pleats Vase, the vessel’s shape directly
followed the natural twisting of the wood fibre inside a tree trunk. A unique,
yet approachable object that invites people to interact with it. Employing a
brushing technique emphasized the natural, twisting grain line of wood and
provided an almost cloth-like surface. Pleats Vase speaks of the natural poetic
beauty of wood and invites people to touch it through its multifaceted, light,
and soft appearance.
