Pendant light
The starting point was a simple but powerful challenge: how can we reduce material waste in a sculptural process often known for its loss?
Inspired by the beautiful movement of the plank, I developed a bandsaw technique that follows the grain of the wood in long, flowing cuts. Instead of carving out the waves from the wood block – which leave behind up to 48% waste – each part is born from the negative space of another. This method yields curving, interlocking pieces with only 15% material loss.
The pendant light is not just about aesthetics, it’s a proposal for a smarter, slower way of producing. The tools are simple, the method is open-source, and the potential is wide-reaching: reduced cost, lower emissions, and a poetic relationship with form and function.
