Carved Cabinet - main picture.jpg

Wood carving is one of the oldest techniques of humankind, used both to create utilitarian objects and more decorative or symbolic figures. Throughout the last centuries, beautifully intricate patterns have been carved into cabinets, tables, beds and other pieces of wooden furniture. But because it is such a difficult and time-consuming craft, the objects created are often expensive and out of reach for most consumers.

My project is an attempt to adapt the wood carving technique to new industrial machinery - more specifically CNC milling - and also to develop a contemporary style of carving, creating designed objects that combine the best of craft and technology.
