Stiløk is a Table and a Bench set, made out of reclaimed old growth Douglas fir wood, surrounded by the idea of recycling and embracing imperfections based on the Wabi Sabi concept
As a team, we aim to design two removable modules, thinking about how the user experiences and interacts with the space. We wanted to incorporate a soft material- bungee cord with solid wood as our joinery, acquiring it's strength as well as flexibility.
