Chair:
The Great Wave of Kanagawa
(2022)
The "Inspired by The Great Wave of Kanagawa" project is a concept furniture piece created during a summer course at Capellagarden in Sweden. This wood stool design is inspired by the famous Japanese artwork "The Great Wave off Kanagawa" and captures the dynamic motion of waves in its form. Using Swedish pinewood and wood powder, the project combines handcraft techniques, including sketches, small wooden mock-ups, and a full-size prototype, to bring the concept to life.
The stool reflects the beauty and power of ocean waves, with layered wood shapes painted in gradient colors to resemble water and depth. This piece not only highlights the elegance of natural wood but also explores the balance between art and functionality.
Project with: Capellagården Workshop
