My project explores the engagement between maker, user, nature and object. Questioning how, through nature-based design one can change the feeling of a space and create a stronger connection between us and our belongings. My collection aims to create a sense of wellbeing and calm through the use of, natural materials, texture and form. Research into haptics, wabi sabi and nature-based design have all influenced my final pieces. Inspired by photographs taken on recent rock climbing and hiking trips, my collection aims to reflect sensations and feelings often connected with nature. Slow processes and traditional wood working techniques were used for the collection, adding to the meditative and haptic abilities of my pieces. My collection aims to honour the natural beauty of wood as a material, utilising waste material from tree surgeons and the furniture making industry, to make features of the cracks, knots and spalted wood.
