‘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.
