Designers have created woven yarn like flexible veneer screen from wood that blurs the line between fabric and wood with Textile Veneer screen. Danish designer, Else-Rikke Bruun, highlighted her project as part of Dezeen x The Mindcraft Project 2021 collaboration.
Textile Veneer is made of woven pieces of thin birch plywood-veneer.
No glue or screws are needed to assemble the structure; pieces interlock together to hold it in place. Textile Veneer is the latest in a series of experimental screens by Bruun, who is drawn to pieces of furniture that can be used to create spaces as both an architect and a designer.
The Mindcraft Project is an annual exhibition presented by the Copenhagen Design Agency to bring the best in explorative and experimental Danish design to the world.
The Dezeen x The Mindcraft Project 2021 collaboration showcases 10 innovative designers and studios from the 2021 digital edition of the exhibition via a series of videos.
Bruun said, “By embracing the possibilities of the CNC machine, the craft traditions are updated to a contemporary context.
The screen reflects light, and it illuminated like a lampshade even in soft daylight, and it casts fine decorative shadows when lit with artificial light.”
Textile Veneer is the latest in a series of experimental screens by Bruun, who is drawn to pieces of furniture that can be used to create spaces as both an architect and a designer. She was inspired to make Textile Veneer after a trip to Mexico, where textile crafts are prominent, and wanted to explore computer numerically controlled (CNC) milling applications.
