Скачать или смотреть O-Series | JOB VAN DEN BERG

The animation illustrates the O-Series principles, from the production proces till the material properties.

O-Series is an ongoing research into the possibilities of laminated hollow wooden profiles. Job van den Berg stretches material properties to new territories. He uses wood veneer, for his O-Series, without any screws, bolds or internal structure. By rolling up the veneer into layered hollow tubes and other profiles, he creates an intriguing play of structure, joints and volume. This reveals an unexpected, constructive strength of the oak veneer. Most importantly, a lot of wood is saved because the inner core is hollow. When looking closer, you can see right through the load-bearing tubes, which plays with your perception of mass and volume. The cabinet and floor lamps appears heavy, but Van den Berg’s clever use of material makes it actually light as a feather.
