About
2D Shapes cut from birch plywood using Computer Numerical Control laser technology are assembled to create the 3D form. Dark edges left by the laser beam reinforce the intention of warmth. Pieces are finished with wax for protection. A LED light placed on the bottom creates drama with different levels of luminosity. The light resembles the sunset. Pieces pack flat in a cardboard box. The organization of the layers guides the consumer through the assembling sequence, which also comes in print. A strap helps carry the package.
