Surface Treatements for wood

Theodore Roszak

Theodore Roszak was a sculptor and a painter, originally from Poland. His style become more expressionistic after 1946, whereas before he had a more industrial look to his sculptures. His main medium seems to be steel.

I like how eerie and creepy his pieces seem to be, yet there seems to be something mystical about them at the same time.

Olivia Lufkin

Olivia Lufkin is a singer/songwriter from Japan. In her free time, she creates lots of art. She does a combination of 2D and 3D pieces. Her 3D pieces are usually all soft sculptures or a combination of soft/harder materials.

Olivia's pieces are really out there. She creates her own little worlds.

If my wood idea for the table doesn't work I think I will switch to metal after seeing what is out there online. It can be really beautiful.
Espicially with forging steel like these two artist.

"Art has been a spritual journey for me. It is my inward vehicle of outward expression. Forget about what the critics say of art. If ever you see an art work that inspires you or uplifts your heart, then purchase it as an investment in your soul." He seems to be good, but to into the money even for my taste!
But his work is beautiful!!!

Ontwerpduo Furniture Design

I think there is some rule that says if you're from northern/central Europe, you can make furniture. It's in their blood or something. I found this dutch duo, Designers Nathan Wierink and Tineke Beunders, by looking up Fun Furniture. The first thing I found was their table called "Marbelous". 

Now if that isn't cool furniture, I don't know what is. 

What I found most fascinating about this duo is that one is a mathematician and the other is a designer. Together they create these fantastic pieces with math, psychics, and design. I'm constantly impressed with the work they've come out with. 

This is part of a small collection called "What it is, it isn't". They started with the concept of light reflecting and refracting and came up with a whole new idea. They wanted to make pieces that skewed how we view the world and make us question whether we see what is there or if we see what we want to see. They were also inspired by Lewis Caroll's Alice in Wonderland. 

This next collection is called "Cupboards". They are all made of Zinc once used in the metal industry. I think it's a great example of recycling. Going Green is so big now, it's a good thing to think about when you're making your projects. 

Just for kicks I'll show you their studio. 

Shows that you can basically build a studio anywhere.
