Finnish designer Jalmari Laihinen, aka byJalmari, explores the beauty of wood with all of its cracks, breaks, and defects, in a series of furniture called Broken. By allowing the true natural properties of wood to show through, wood becomes more than just the material that the pieces are made from.
Wood with defects is often discarded and not used in the furniture making process, but Laihinen embraces them and treats these unique features as accents.

Perfect design, so beautiful it is. No need to recycle :)

The beauty isn’t really in the appearance but taking the broken pieces and making them into art. Would be perfect to have in rehab centers. I think it would be very inspirational.

Um, only problem is that this wood doesn’t have defects. He’s just breaking good wood. Nice story though.
