Wooden-plastic joints.

During the Furniture Fair in Milan 2010, in 3 different locations, 3 different designers, 2 materials getting together, plastic and wood. Not with glue neither with nails, they are joined through a molding process that makes the components interlace each other, creating a unique body.

Elastic wood by Gil Sheffi (another Bezalel’s Academy of art and design student) from bakery-design is the first one of the 3 examples.

Closing the examples with these crates exhibited at the Ecal Design, they have the same concept, but in a subtle way (in means of size), the joints are little coloured plastic details, that hold the wooden pieces together.
