MARBLED-EGG SCULPTURES out of PAPER by JULIE DODD
_
Eggs made out of 2,000 paper slices. The Artist cuts out thousands of egg shapes, then she glues together the pieces. Building layers – one by one. Until the thickness of a real egg is reached. After a process of a few weeks the eggs are completely dried up. Then she’s using sand for a smooth surface and varnish them. Great idea, just in time for Easter …

THE SLICE CHAIR CONCEPT by MATHIAS BENGTSSON
“First drawn by hand and later modelled in clay, the Slice chair combines organic shapes with cutting-edge technology. Slice is constructed as an assemblage of horizontal cross-sections that stack together into a uniquely lateral profile. Laser-cut to a thickness of only 3mm, each individual layer resembles a two-dimensional abstraction more than it does a hi-tech component. Although the process was inspired by rapid prototyping methods, Bengtsson worked with more traditional materials. His starting point was to create a new form by using clay, which he then sliced in horizontal layers and manipulated digitally. The result was a surprising shape that blurred the distinctions between armrests, backrest, legs and frame.” ~ from Bengtsson Design
