‘shavings’ stool by yoav avinoam

israeli designer yoav avinoam, a recent graduate of the bezalel academy of art and design, jerusalem has sent us images of his project ‘shavings’.  the sawdust from all kinds of woods have been pressed with resin into a mold that already contains all of the object parts. avinoam explored new ways of integration between the legs of the furniture and the sawdust through expansion of the joints and the way the sawdust crumbles toward the edges  to creates a new material, which was once destined to be waste.
