pressed wood is a series of furniture based on the idea to put pressure on freshly cut wood to divide and breakdown its fibres. this process of separation allows to achieve much smaller radii with the branches in use, while also permitting to change the natural round base of the tree limbs into more rectangular forms. once the natural material has been manipulated in this way, the wood is steamed, bending it in combination with glue as they are pressed into moulds to create the structural framework of the furniture objects.
