IN BETWEEN

&TRADITION

Disponible en bois de frêne ou de chêne, la nouvelle chaise In Between de l'éditeur danois &tradition est un bel hommage au travail du bois. Elle met en avant deux techniques traditionnelles : le moulage par compression et le tournage sur bois. Son nom est un clin d'oeil à sa construction. En effet, l'assise et le haut du dossier en bois courbé sont liés par 3 panneaux de bois cintré vissés au fût. Ces pièces en bois moulé viennent matérialiser et habiller le "vide" entre haut de la chaise et assise, d'où le nom In Between.

Made in ash and oak, In Between is an exercise in wood craftsmanship and uses two traditional techniques to achieve its form: compression moulding and woodturning. The name perfectly explains the premise of the chair. The crescent-shaped back- and armrest attaches to the seat through three wood veneer panels, and it is the gently curved cut-outs to these panels that create an interesting correlation between the chair and its surroundings – revealing the spaces in between. As well as involving modern industrial manufacturing processes, there are also certain interventions made by the human hand – a nod to Kallio’s background and education as a joiner and his interest in traditional woodcraft.
