Dutch designer Carolien Laro has created the Spring Wood collection of seating. Spring wood developed by Carolien Laro, a graduated student at the Arts Academy St Joost and Amsterdam Wood and furniture college. Carolien searched for the limits of wood, with great success. Carolien wanted to bring two contradictions of wood together: rigidity and flexibility. She succeeded, with the background of a party garland in mind. During 2010 she worked hard to developed a few versions of Spring Wood, apart from the original version’: These are: The Paperclip, Restless Legs and The Bridge. Spring Wood seems very simple but it isn’t: it is very complex and laborious. Selecting the right ashwood and machining it. The glueing process followed by the CNC sawing: in total more than 480 CNC groove-milling steps are necessary for one ‘wooden pillow’.
