‘Wood-Cast’ Furniture by Hilla Shamia
Israel product designer Hilla Shamia has has created this fantastic series of furniture blending aluminum and wood.
The rough, intentionally rugged concrete skins of Brutalist buildings were meant to record the process by which they were made. The wood plank formwork used to mold the walls imprinted on their surfaces a textured, abrasive quality in a manner that re-infused contemporary architecture with the type of craftsmanship that had been banned at the commencement of the Modernist project. This ‘honest’ expression of building coveted fidelity to the inherent ‘character’ of the material at hand–an aesthetic imperative that could only be upheld through the thoughtful act of physical making. This same pathos is evident in the work of designer Hilla Shamia, whose “wood casting” furniture hybridizes organic material with abstract forms using industrial techniques.

The elements that come with dependence are “faith” and “risk”. Because of that fact, one chair has only on one side a leg which makes it automatically dependent on the other one. As soon as you become dependent on something we can talk automatically about might!”
