emiliano godoy : drip table 2009 년 8 월 26 일 수요일 , 오후 6 : 40 : 00 emiliano godoy recently designed the ' drip table ', which is manufactured by pirwi + proteak . the piece is made from many small pieces of FSC certified thinning teak . emiliano explains his design : ' the idea for the drip table came out of several months of thinking about the manufacturer ' s capabilities and looking for a way to express them by showing their virtues . proteak are converting old farming and grazing grounds , now nutrient depleted and unproductive , into sustainably managed ( and FSC certified ) teak plantations . when they buy the land , if there ' s still some rainforest left they keep it and protect it . '' when a teak plantation is started from scratch you need to plant trees very close to each other , to create the right conditions for the forest to grow in terms of humidity , soil retention , shadow , etc . however , once the trees start to grow you have to cut some of them down to make space available for the rest . this process is called thinning , and it has to be performed every few years in the process of creating a mature and productive forest , and once it reaches a certain point , you only cut mature trees while you wait for the new ones to grow . '' during the early years , young plantations produce a great deal of thinning wood . this young wood has special color , hardness and damp features and is only obtained in small formats . because of this , the wood cannot be distributed and utilized in regular woodworking factories . other uses must be found for it . proteak has installed machinery to produce large planks of wood by gluing several smaller pieces . '' the drip table was designed with this in mind . the table uses these large planks and stresses the nature of the small , original pieces though legs built from strips of different lengths . the ideas was to not only reveal the building method but also to place a special value on the individual and small wood pieces , and metaphorically , on the creation of new sustainably managed forests by means of small ' uncommercial ' trees which by repetition and perseverance produces a stable and robust forest .
