When Baars & Bloemhoff came to me with the question to develop something for their new label I immediately got exited, Baars & Bloemhoff has an exquisite collection of sheet materials and finishes to work with. The design is meant to be produced in a completely automated process that solely makes use of CNC milling techniques. The objects are assembled without any glue or screws and are entirely build with slotted connections. For the this collection we tried to stay out of conventions surrounding cnc furniture in which we often encounter 90 degree angles and where the emphasis is on the connections/construction. We aimed to avoid the typical CNC aesthetic by milling in different angles and creating round shapes. The collection is made up of a bench, a low shelving unit and a side table. We focussed of making colour combinations with the materials we use, in this case we use a black MDF as base material which was laminated with Abet Laminati’s pink stripe laminate. The endless possibilities of Baars & Bloemhoff’s collection allow us to create many different colour combinations for the collection. Some parts of the furniture is CNC’d in 90 degree angles to reveal a bigger surface of the black MDF, in this way we wanted to reveal the head side of the material as a decorative element of the design.
