DoHoon Kim :: when furniture becomes art

"typically the bentwood technique is executed through the use of moulds,
however kim's method creates curves naturally through the wood's flexibility and elasticity.
his practice begins by cutting ash wood into thin slices, bending them while they are
layered and clamped without any moulds - thus allowing him to create curves freely and naturally.
if one looks closely, they can see that the curves twist slightly in order to connect to each other.
another detail is that the bent backrest has the seam width as the legs in order to maintain
a sense of unity within the chair's construction." via design boom
