About the Item

The local sawmill produces lots of waste wood. Adorable bits and beautiful types but all different in size. That makes them hard to use for a regular production. The common thought is to sell it as firewood. Tin is a type of metal that melts at a relatively low melting point of 232 degrees Celsius. Once it has molten it is just liquid enough to flow around the bits of wood, filling up the gaps. Its temperature is just not hot enough to burn the hardwood resulting in metal that flows around the hardwood and solidifies in cloud like shapes. Not any glue or screws are used keeping the wood together. Only a combination of leftover hardwood and old tin pots and plates were molten into in a collection of stools, tables and coffee tables. Year - 2012 Material - leftover hard wood, recycled tin.

Table for Artists by Dirk Meylaerts
Located in Geneve, CH
Table for Artists by Dirk Meylaerts Dimensions: W 80 x D 192 x H 74 cm Materials: Pearwood. "I wanted to create a light table that can be used as a polyvalent desk. An elegant solution for this multifunctionality is to make tabletop and feet independent. Moreover, this allows me to give the trestles a sculptural quality. The tabletop is made of pearwood boards glued together, supported by two beams that are fixed permanently with long dovetails. The beams allow the tabletop to breathe freely." Biography: After a short career as an actor and dancer in Jan Fabre’s theatre piece The Power of Theatrical Madness, he decided to pursue a career in furniture making. He studied cabinetmaking at Les Arts et Metiers in Brussels and trained under master cabinet maker Ralf Hillenbrand, who taught him all the technical aspects of the craft. After three years, he began working as an independent cabinet maker and designer, a career that spanned 25 years. In 2003, he organized several auction sales of prototypes by fellow designers, in collaboration with the auction house Pierre Bergé in Brussels. In 2006, he founded D&A Lab, a company that produced limited series of functional design objects, conceived by contemporary artists such as Jonathan Monk, Pierre Bismuth, Ann Veronica Janssens...

IPN Table by Dirk Meylaerts
Located in Geneve, CH
IPN Table by Dirk Meylaerts Dimensions: W 90 x D 300 x H 74 cm Materials: Steel, Pearwood. Generally, a tabletop can be constructed with boards used length or width-wise. When one uses the boards lengthwise, the tabletop cannot be longer than the size of the tree. A tabletop assembled in width, on the other hand, has the advantage of not being limited in length size: in theory, you can multiply the boards endlessly and create a very long table. I use two metal beams (available in any length) to support this very long tabletop. This system allows the boards their necessary leeway. The tabletop can be fixed to the metal beams by two bolts. Two trestles constitute the feet of the table. They can be put at the end of the table, or more towards the center, as one wishes.
