Ripping as a simple act
Ripping as a simple act, is the base of a design process. It has been the start of all the ripping series. We used “ripping” to give shape to the collections.
Ripped wood
Ripped wood is a collection of furniture made from hardwood that is collected from the fallen tree’s in my city Eindhoven. We’ll creating we let us guide ourselves with the bark lines of the tree. The other end of the piece we split (ripp) with the chisel to create the right proportions. In the collection we have a lounge chair, table, cabinet, coffee table, columns.
Ripped ceramics
Clay was the easiest material to rip. With slaps of clay we started to create higher and stronger constructions. For now we have created stools, tables and vases. Looking forward to expand this family.
Ripped Metal
Ripped metal is a collection of furniture made from aluminium / steel that is powder coated with a hammer ride coating. We asked ourselves how we could “ripping” metal, which we physically can’t do ourselves. Trough lasercutting techniques the industry give us the opportunity to create organic lines in this ridget material.
