Extrusion by Philippe Malouin

Hackney designer philippe malouin worked with traditional craftsmen from Beirut to create a series of bowls and plinths by shaping wooden blocks made of many smaller, tessellating batons. Commissioned by Crawan Gallery,  his Extrusion project combines the techniques used to make decorative wooden inlays with those of a lathe-worker.

I like the pattern on the top of the bowl that the wooden strips have formed, it is very tactile as it looks so smooth.
