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.

Finally, an inventive and great way to use all those wooden shavings you are left with after sawing down things. The chair also looks to be surprisingly sturdy, when you consider that it was largely assembled with small pieces of sawdust.

Nice! – never heard of handcrafted chipboard before

Okay idea to use sawdust, if it’s a biproduct from production of something else. But what has been used as resin? It doesn’t make sense to make a “eco”-product with “recycled” material and then mix it with none-eco resin and thereby make an unrecylable composite?

Resin? so you designed chipboard stools….

You don´t want to recycle it. it´s already recycled. you want to place your arse on it.

the problem is stefan, what happens to the resin when the stool is no longer needed, or fails? it goes into land fill. I’ll get excited when the resin is organic and bio-degradable.

agree fully!

Great body of work, to tackle the Eco issue with a bonding agent I used sustainable rubber latex, which is farmed from trees but never actually kills them. Have a look at [email protected]

Interesting. At first I wasn’t sure how this would be put together but it actually looks quite sturdy!

Great idea. It could get better too. Would you be interested in working on a furniture project with me? Commercial volume.
