The different furniture design concept from PeliDesign, it’s try to combine of the “plastic-world” and the world of wooden furniture to create something unique piece of furniture. These are available in three different furniture stools, chairs, table and chair set.

From the designer:

I designed the plastic connection with - the wooden legs actually ‘flow’ into the seat plank…Then I drew the moulds on the computer and let the moulds rapid-prototype. These moulds I used for hand casting the plastic resin into the wood.

The wooden parts have cavities (in that version, milled holes) which are working in a way known from a dovetail connection does - the plastic flows “behind” and into them, hardens, and is not solvable anymore.

The complicated shapes of the cavities are not specially designed (in fact, not designed at all, they just emerge out of necessity, they look grown) - they fulfil the only purpose that they provide sufficient surface that the connection can cling to the wood.

That’s also a part of what I wanted to show: plastic is liquid at first it flows where it wants to flow; where there is space.

So the whole PlasticNature uses connections and is a connection and that on different levels, I name two: physical (wood connected by plastic) and stylistically (plastic furniture, wooden furniture)
