kaspar hamacher: ausgebrannt


'ausgebrannt'
all photos by christine bongarts, belgium



belgian designer kaspar hamacher has produced a series of low stools / tables made from
tree trunks which have been formed by use of fire. fittingly named 'ausgebrannt' which means
'burned out' in german, a tree trunk has been cut into segments varying in length. all the bark
is stripped from the exterior and fire is then used to hollow out parts of the trunk to create legs.

what a WASTE of marterial...
thank you for not burning a tree for making 3 elegant prehistoric toothpicks

arguably, these look as though they were made of checked up
stump wood. WISE use of material

the close up showed a nice aesthetic change from the smooth light wood and the dark rough charred underside, which is nice, but from far away the designs look poorly executed. if the wood was more sculpted and refined before the burning out process, it would have an even more striking appearance.

I like them. I wonder what was done to deal with the very dirty burned charcoal...
