American cherry

IED Madrid

Daniela wanted her piece to celebrate the beauty of the timber in its natural state. She took cues from Japanese craftsmanship, which observes the qualities of wood and takes advantage of all its unpredictability and inconsistency, and from the Chidori joint; traditional Japanese joinery where wood planks are connected through a system allowing them to stay together even without the use of nails or glue. American cherry was chosen for its excellent finishing qualities and the inherent warmth it can bring to any space.
