colored-pencil table

for Saint-Etienne Design Biennial

We used a technique called ‘udukuri’ to carve away the soft parts of cypress boards so that the harder curves and lines of the wood grain stand out. Then we covered the boards with paper and traced the relief in colored pencils to transfer the wood grain onto the paper.

我们使用一种叫做“udukuri”的技术来雕刻柏树板的柔软部分，使木纹的曲线和线条更加突出。然后我们用纸覆盖纸板，用彩色铅笔描绘浮雕，将木纹转移到纸上。

This created a tantalizing juxtaposition between the familiar proportions of wooden and the finish of the paper, and an inviting fusion of the subtle shades and blur of the colored pencils with the raised wood grain.

这在熟悉的木质比例和纸张表面之间创造了诱人的并置，以及微妙的色调和彩色铅笔的模糊与凸起的木纹的诱人融合。

Ultimately, the project gave us a glimpse of the future of furniture, through the manipulation of surface texture.

最终，该项目通过操纵表面纹理让我们一瞥家具的未来。
