This bending furniture breaks conventional wisdom to create a completely unique experience. Kino Guérin takes these malleable pieces of wood and turns them into some original pieces of furniture.
While it's difficult to imagine how this could even be possible given that wood is for the most part not able to bend this way, there's a trick to it. Kino got this result by using multiple very thin pieces of wood that were bent and glued together, and after that, he used a technique called vacuum press limitation.
The pieces are all completely different from each other and all serve different purposes. There are chairs, tables and benches among other things. These pieces of bending furniture are some of the strangest but most compelling pieces of art to come around in a long time.
