Shavings by Yoav Avinoam

Yoav Avinoam’s graduation project is Shavings — furniture created from sawdust.

By using sawdust waste from the Wood industry, as a response to the way we look at our usage and exploitation of materials in modern culture. The sawdust (taken from different kinds of woods) is being pressed with resin into a mold that already contains all of the object parts, the opportunity was exploring new ways of integration between the legs of the furniture and the sawdust through expansion of the joints, this and the way the sawdust crumbles toward the edges creates a new material esthetics to once destined to be waste material.

Yoav also gives us a little “Deconstruction” with some process photos, after the jump.
