One Thousand and One Nights
One Thousand and One Nights is a decorative wooden vessel made with a method called Irregular Segmenting. Leftover wood cuts of different shapes and sizes are sorted by complementary colors and joined into small sheets. The small sheets are then combined into larger sheets. Discs are cut from the sheets, glued and fixed together, and the whole volume is wood-turned. The vessel is 40 cm in height and 20 cm in diameter, and is accompanied by two cups. The design gives a new use to wood scraps that are usually discarded.
