Artful Beachwood Furnishings

The Linda Hagberg Driftwood Furniture Series is Organically Conceived

— May 17, 2013 — Art & Design
Entitled 'Driftwood', this organic collection of furnishings is conceived by Linda Hagberg. The swedish architect and designer collects wooden flotsam that has been carried by the tide and washed ashore. Hadberg creates sculptural furniture pieces that include tables, chairs and light fixtures among others inspired by the world of nature.

The 'Driftwood' furniture collection by Linda Hagberg mimics organic patterns created by wood and achieves them with the use of a parametric software that employs a complex numeration and assembling process.

After projecting a specific pattern, this software generates furniture components and builds them into a three-dimensional surface. With the help of machinery, each 3D piece is numbered, sanded, finished with a laquer and joined together with layers of resin that act as their adhesive.
Trend Themes
1. Organic Furniture - The use of natural materials and organic shapes in furniture design offers innovative opportunities for sustainable and eco-friendly products.
2. Parametric Design - Parametric design software offers precise control over complex shapes and patterns, providing new avenues for creative expression and customizable products.
3. 3D Surface Building - The use of machinery and numerical control in furniture manufacturing allows for intricate designs and efficient production techniques, leading to increased affordability for consumers.
Industry Implications
1. Furniture Design - The furniture industry can explore new ways to incorporate natural materials and parametric design into their products, creating unique and sustainable pieces that stand out in a crowded market.
2. Interior Design - Integrating organic furniture pieces with unconventional shapes and finishes into interior design projects can elevate a space's aesthetics and create a memorable atmosphere for clients.
3. Art and Sculpture - Artists and sculptors can experiment with the use of parametric design software and 3D surface building techniques to create unique and intricate pieces that push the boundaries of traditional mediums and techniques.
