Splitting Wood

Splitting Wood is an exceptional involvement with the material wood. The used guaiacum in combination with form and sharpening of a classical splitting axe allows to smoothly split logs.

Torch takes the classical workshop-lamp and puts it in another context. The use of turned wood, textile-cables and different illuminants liberates the lamp from its initial surrounding and enables the illumination of living spaces.

Rack is a shelf inspired by Bauhaus architect Marcel Breuers B9 side tables.

With careful maintenance the SteelTool provides a lifelong lasting writing instrument, which ages with its owner.
