木が溶けてくっついたような家具。 木粉と樹脂からなる人工木材を、加熱・プレスすることで有機的な歪みやはみ出しを生みながら、部材同士が癒着し強度が出る。本来、天然木ならばホゾや継ぎ手を緻密に設計しなければならないが、樹脂の性質を併せ持つ人工木材は、そのルールから逸脱することができる。ホットプレートやヒートガンで加熱し、加熱面同士をプレス機で押し潰す。その製法の中で形を模索した結果、天然木では成立し得ない構造体ができあがった。単なる天然木の模倣ではなく、人工木材という素材特有の可能性を問い直す試みである。

Furniture that looks as if the wood has melted and fused together. By heating and pressing artificial wood—made from wood flour and resin—the components adhere to one another, creating organic distortions and protrusions while gaining strength. With natural wood, mortise and tenon joints must be meticulously designed; however, artificial wood, which incorporates the properties of resin, allows us to deviate from those rules. The material is heated using hot plates or heat guns, and the heated surfaces are pressed together in a press. Through this process of exploring form, a structure emerged that could never be achieved with natural wood. This is not merely an imitation of natural wood, but an attempt to reexamine the unique possibilities inherent in the material of engineered wood.
