  • A Traditional Craft Product With Contemporary Potential

    Source: dezeen.com 07 Jan 2020

    Studio Sain worked with one of Austria's last remaining woodturners to develop this collection of hand-turned wooden products that feature moving parts or modular components.

     

    Designers Martijn Rigters and Namuun Zimmermann, who began working together as Studio Sain in 2018, developed the Bulbous project as part of Vienna Design Week's Passionswege 2019 programme, which pairs design studios with local craftsmen.

     

    Studio Sain was invited to collaborate with Viennese woodturner Hermann Viehauser on a collection of products that highlight the contemporary potential of this traditional craft.

     

    The project allowed the designers to learn about and celebrate the hand-turning process, which they claimed is steadily being replaced by faster, automated manufacturing methods.

     

    "With Hermann Viehauser being one of the last woodturners in Vienna, it is clear this craft is slowly disappearing – probably because of the typical cliche of being time consuming and costly," Rigters and Zimmermann told Dezeen.

     

    "We wanted to embrace the incredible high level of precision of the handmade pieces, and to end this collaboration with a collection of unconventional pieces."
