Skulpturelt hvilested

The project titled 'Wooden Hammocks' is a design proposition for a bench-like sculpture at Charlottenlund high school in Trondheim, Norway. Its purpose was to create a space that allows for individual relaxation as well as social interaction and connectivity within the school environment.

Håndverk fra nordisk furu

The structure is constructed from solid Nordic pine, utilizing advanced 5-axis CNC machining by Snekkeriet in Verdal. The pieces of wood are milled, laminated together into layers, and fastened with wood screws, focusing on durability at the points of heaviest use. Artisans then meticulously hand-saw holes, finely sand the surfaces for easy cleaning, and treat the wood with linseed oil wax to ensure longevity and aesthetic appeal.

Prisvinnende skoleprosjekt

The 'Wooden Hammocks' project won the first prize in a competition and was successfully built. Spanning an area greater than 5 square meters, it not only serves as an art installation and furniture but also enhances the spatial experience for students at the high school. The project was commissioned by Trondheim County, executed in collaboration with Snekkeriet AS, and featured by photographer Marte Garmann. The team behind the design includes Avichai Bar, Marit Justine Haugen, and Dan Zohar.
