This furniture is no work of high-tech design. Nor is it witchcraft, though your eyes might tell you otherwise. Instead, this is simply the work of an amazingly skilled carpenter.Using dovetails and other old-fashioned woodcuts, Sebastian Errazuriz makes furniture that seems fresh, new, and even a bit on this side of living and breathing. In short, the work is amazingly modern but is made with old techniques. The Wave Cabinet utilizes precisely cu and jointed birch pieces to create a functional, transforming piece of furniture that unfolds in uncanny ways. Explosion is another cabinet—this one expands into a unique sculptural design, but collapses again into a small box.This is the kind of amazing stuff you won’t be finding in an IKEA – or even a high end furniture store – anytime soon.
