Rigid fluidity I
Material: solid ash wood
Method: steam bending
It's about our perceptions on life.
It's how we find our way through life by ourselves & together with others.
It's about what you make this life to be.
It's about doing something your way based on your experiences & methods.
Rigidity is a quality found in people, situations & objects that don't bend. The same way we get told by others you can't make it, you are not capable, you cannot change the situation, this is the status quo.
I absolutely detest it when others project their fears onto me or others.
Just because you are scared to take a chance on the unknown... Just because you can't overcome your fears... Just because you don't want to follow your dreams...don't try and persuade me to be a member of your tribe.
How many creatives and entrepreneurs are making it every day? Ja, it's hard sometimes, overwhelming, challenging - of course! Is it worth it? Absolutely!!! Fluidity is the quality of a substance to flow. Solid wood is perceived as hard & rigid, not something you can break with your own power but just add a bit of steam and you will be able to bend it almost into any direction.
Next time add a little bit more love, a little bit more understanding, a little more patience & people & situations will open up to you.
Take Note
Wood and leather is one of God's natural materials. All timber even of the same species can vary substantially in colour, grain & texture. Knots & light surface cracks are not deemed as defects. Natural markings such as scratches, branding iron & insects bites are not considered defects on leather. Every furniture piece is individually and meticulously handcrafted, therefore slight variations will occur. We are passionate about craftsmanship and strife for a quality finished product.
