dislike the design.
i cant judge the aestheitcs, but i dislike mdf for its creep and swelling behavior. i guess the table as well as the long shelf will look like shit (cuz they will bend) after a few years using them. and if u spill water on that stuff – best thing to do is throw it away, no repairing possible.
great progect: innovating and curious.
Not really seeing how these products are handmade… besides the dipping them in water.
Wow, this is cool! Finally some nice handmade process that makes sense….
