Doorjambs-A wooden table designed for both indoor and outdoor use; made from 100% scrap timber. The project starts at city construction waste dumpsters; where the two types of materials used in the table (outdoor hardwood decking and pine doorjambs), can be found. A study the studio conducted in the 3 dumpsters at the center of Israel; indicated that most of the wood in these sites was doorjambs made of old Pine. However in most sights every day some Ipe beams could be found, mainly from dismantled outdoor decking. The table attempts to combine the two wood types in one design while taking into account the wood qualities in relation to external use. The design proposes different methods of addressing the harsh Israeli sun through the construction and the materials. The pine is processed and glued into two parts which function as the side and legs of the table. The thin Ipe boards are locked into grooves in the Pine sides. This method enables a flexible design in which the different wood types expend and compress without breaking the construction. The design also offers a sturdy robust look with a relatively low weight.
