Wood Have, Should Have
For centuries we've been subverting wood to our will; lumber mills and furniture factories spit out rectilinear shapes that fit nicely onto trucks but have little to do with the inherent properties of a tree.
Designer Matthias Pliessnig is trying to stay truer to the material, by "[utilizing] the elastic possibilities of the material. The processes I am using combine boat building techniques with furniture building techniques." His resultant lounge chairs are beautiful and look more like something you'd find in an elven village than in a mass-produced furniture store; they're less Lego, more Legolas.
