Bent Intentions
Abraided
description
Abraided is an exploration of the fraught tension that can occur when combining strength and fragility by using aircraft plywood for domestic object development. The finished product considers balance, repetition and irony. It is deigned for user assembly, and can be flat-packed into an 11x17 envelope for shipping and distribution.
Grand Cru: Wine Bottle Holder
description
this project: bent intention evoked us to take a 2-D form and by putting stress on it creating a 3-dimensional form. The result is an elegant wine bottle holder that is self-supporting. The special feature of this piece is that the aircraft plywood is achieving a two way bend on one single and simple cutout, which is pushing the boundaries of the material.
Sugar Plum Fairy
description
Created for the Bent Intensions project in winter 2008 this project was later accepted into the Holiday Intensions Collection where it showcased and sold at the Wood Co-op on Granville Island.
This delicate wood figure was inspired by the popular character, the Sugar Plum Fairy from The Nutcracker Ballet. It flat packs in a #10 size envelope, easily assembles with a fold and twist and hangs daintily on a Christmas Tree as a holiday ornament.
