About the Item

Pine wood "Blend" lamp, Ward Wijnant Dimensions: 124 H x 20 W x 20 D Materials: Pine wood, colored based oil, glass The project Blend is inspired by the thought that out of one and the same tree, the same wood, different kind of patterns and structures can be gained. Blend is based on the idea to visualize the effect of different sawing techniques by emphasizing the woodgrains. By using a quarter sawing technique, woodgrains appear as stripes. With a plain sawing technique, woodgrains appear as flames. The design of Blend shows wood in an unusual way by using both quarter- and plain sawn timber. Also by playing with the inlay work and grain directions, the wood shows a surprising new perspective. Ward Wijnant (1987, Tilburg) developed during his studies at the Wood and Furniture College various furniture making techniques and a broad material knowledge. However, the manufacture of a furniture piece was not enough for him, Ward missed depth, creativity and the story behind an object. At the Design Academy Eindhoven he learned conceptual thinking and working. He graduated as an independent designer and started his own company in 2015. Ward’s work is characterized by experimenting with materials. The unexpected as a discovery in a product is meaningful for him. With his objects Ward wants to show the origins of craftsmanship. He sees it as a Mission to interpret the diversity of old methods and materials in ultimate, contemporary design that pays attention to detail and finish, as well as a historical understanding of the original artisanal mastery. Ward gets inspired by the construction of traditionally made objects, how the materials are handled and how secure joints are constructed. Artisanal methods combined with versatile materials embody a particular aesthetic. This is exactly what Ward wants to show in his designs: how the materials, and the way in which they are processed, influence the shape. He wants to show materials from a new perspective and with a fresh look at ancient craft techniques.
