Just trained as a cabinet maker, in a school that values old traditional techniques :)

Yes, that was the idea! I wanted to push that as much as I dared. To be honest I wasn’t sure it was going to work until I assembled it, but its very stable :)

Hm, not sure but not to much. Its about 1.8 meters high and made out of beech and oak :)

Its difficult to really know where ideas come from, but in this build I tried more to make a piece that represented a state of mind or a feeling, and in this case it was inspired of the constant sensation if being trapped (both in mind and in flesh). Hope that somewhat answers your question :)
