Concrete, wood
HAPPARATUS
A ‘power-glove’ that makes it possible to sculpt hard materials, such as wood or concrete, as if they were soft like clay.
The subtractive tool facilitates incomparable versatility and creative freedom, which makes it highly desirable for many professional and avocational makers. Developed in close collaboration with craft experts from various disciplines including sculptors, designers, stone carvers, model makers and tinkerers.
The journey featured a series of conceptual experiments and mechanical explorations that helped uncover the potential for disrupting existing tools and work flows. The result puts the maker in direct contact with the material, investigates the changing nature of the objects we create, and explore how the new opportunities would manifest themselves in contemporary craft.
