Particiating Works:
On the Wheel _13 - Sho Ota (@shoo_ohta )

A found slice of tree trunk is shaped using On the Wheel, a self-built, manually operated carving machine. Only the top surface is carved into a tray, while the sides remain untouched. The process creates a specific function within the natural form, leaving the rest of the tree as it was.

Particiating Works:
Surfaced small walshelf - Sho Ota (@shoo_ohta )

Made from leftover blocks from the Surfaced series, this small wall shelf is the final destination for fragments too small for larger works. The project aims to use every piece of wood, carrying unused blocks into the next work. Each shelf takes a unique composition.

Particiating Works:
Branch Stool Low - Sho Ota (@shoo_ohta )

Made from discarded wood, this piece gives the material a branch-like form once again. After being cut, processed, used, and abandoned, the wood takes on an imagined version of its former life. A ring of branches supported by branching legs suggests a return to nature, without attempting to imitate it.

Sho's interpretation of alteration is natural and ongoing. Wood splints, lightly stained green, are set right where the chair is damaged, like a scab forming over skin. A delicate touch at the root of each flaw leaves the original shape unharmed. The repairs simply let the chair go on with its history.

Day 1 · Sunday 18 October
Plug-In Paviljoen, Plug-in City, Eindhoven

Chair registration is open until 14 October. Link in bio.

I made the poster for this year’s @dutchdesignweek! In the coming days I‘ll be sharing more about our exhibition How We Play, How We Make.
Seven designers, one chain of objects. Like a game of dominoes, each piece responds to the one before it: a shape, a material, a gesture passed on and answered. Instead of making side by side, we make in sequence, and the process becomes a dialogue.
Come see where the chain led us at De Fabriek, 17–25 October. Cheers! taken in De Fabriek Eindhoven by @shoo_ohta

I made a first "On the Wheel" table aka DJ Wood table for a newly opened @dior store last year.

Thanks a lot @luca.albero @chiakiy26 for this opportunity.
