WoodXPlastic
The young Singaporean designer Hunn Wai (recently graduated at the IM Master Design Academy Eindhoven) has researched the "join" value in the furniture.
As the confrontational title suggests, sheets of smoke-coloured acrylic are impaled by beech poles to construct a shelf. First a small hole is made in the acrylic sheet and is heated for an exact duration. The wooden pole is then pushed through sheet by sheet. When the plastic cools down, it contracts around the pole to create a vice-like grip. This is repeated, resulting in a strong and stable structure.
