The first half of the stool, to us, is the part in the show that comes closest to using ‘’real’’ wood (in the traditional meaning of the word) and traditional wood working techniques. We hand chiseled the first part of the stool out of tree trunks that we found in the woods. By only making one half of the stool we created a need for another half. The other half was made by 3d scanning the first half, digitally mirroring it and then 3D printing it. The second half is in a way the digital echo of the first half and in a very literal sense opposes two different views upon woodworking. We are always interested in the identity of a material or method. To us the hand-made and the computer-generated both have an equally important message. We think that it is often forgotten that the signs of mannerism in a 3D-modelled object are equally important to that in a hand-made object to the development of its character. The lack of empathy that 3D-prints are often wrongly associated with motivates us to investigate its position compared to handmade objects.
