Warped Wood Furniture

These Furniture Designs by Kino Guerin are Tactfully Twisted

— May 20, 2013 — Art & Design
Kino Guerin designs statement furniture pieces using an interesting technique he has mastered over years of working with wood.

Kino Guerin's furniture appeals to your sense of wonder because each piece is made by molding and re-shaping materials that do not easily bend. The outcome results in beautiful pieces that are elegant and smooth.

When asked about the uniqueness and incredibleness of his work Guerin had this to say, "I gave myself a challenge a few years ago, one that would become my leitmotiv: From now on, I would make furniture with a unique piece of wood, no legs, no crossbars or supports."

The outcome are these enchanting pieces of furniture that seem to be flowing. The smooth surfaces have been twisted and bent into and away from each other in an unseen manner.
