"We wanted to make a super thin construction in wood"
THIN - Palisander
The THIN tables were the first step in Rasmus Fenhanns exploration of ultra thin solid wood constructions. It began as a collaboration between Rasmus and Cabinetmaker Søren Risvang at The Danish Art Workshops. A set of nested tables was made in Rosewood with a small handmade profile on the inside of the frames. The tables were exhibited at the Cabinetmakers Autumn Exhibition ”Pitch Black” in 2016.
Process
The tables are made with a technique similar to the split cane fishing rods. The mitred joint follow the edges of the entire table and makes it incredibly strong. All inside corners have a small detail made with an old Stanley scraper tool.
