Wood plates / design development
Twelve studies.
A starting point in wood.
Faces, shared contours, architectural relief and related surface applications shape the collection. Wood is the starting material for the plates.
These digital concept images explore form, composition and light. They do not show finished wood plates or a collection available to purchase. The Light-Shift Tile is a related application study.
