The sculptural work Sliced interrogates the transformed identity of the log after processing, the way industrial intervention fundamentally alters not just its form but its very essence and meaning as material. The accompanying video documents this process in real-time, capturing the unique tools, the rhythmic sounds of machinery, and the moment-by-moment transformation , revealing the hidden layers and textures within.

Drawers are shy by nature, designed to hide things from view, storing them until needed. Shelves, by contrast, are stages for display, showcasing what we want to be seen. This piece marked a new understanding that was later explored in other projects : working with salvaged furniture and parts, offered far more than just efficiency. By incorporating existing drawers and cabinets, I wasn't simply repurposing materials—I was expanding my design vocabulary. Each found element brought its own history, patina, and character into the new work, creating a visual dialogue between past and present that wouldn't exist with new materials alone.

The collection offers a debate on the interrelation between the material (wood), its natural origin and its end of life as waste. The collection contains a chair, two stools and a small table. It won two awards in the Furniture Design Awards (FDA) in Singapore: grand prize and best use of material ( 2012 ). With the years of working with wood waste, it became clear to me that there is a gap in the discussion of wood, as a material and the original tree. The project aims to debate the loss of the trees (chopped down to generate wood). The Christian ceremony called " Wake" in which the relatives sit with the body of a loved one for several days, in the process of parting with himher. The ceremony gave the contextual background for the work. On the technical level the project called for specific tools such as an hydraulic two axles press and a special matrix to enable the gluing.

Over the years, across every format I've worked in, I've consistently facilitated workshops that transfer complex bodies of knowledge while producing tangible outcomes. They democratize design, breaking down barriers that make it feel inaccessible. The compressed timeframe pushes participants beyond overthinking into action, building skills and confidence simultaneously. When working with materials, workshops bridge the gap between ideas and physical reality, enabling firsthand understanding and learning in relatively short timespans. They reveal the vital interrelation between tools, materials, and people—transforming abstract concepts into embodied knowledge through making. <img width="1620" height="1080" width_o="1620" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6a04f3ad779fe96834b25c0eca893cd0d8e9987c9b1e5b82807dac891866685b/workshop_3.JPG" data-mid="240410647" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/6a04f3ad779fe96834b25c0eca893cd0d8e9987c9b1e5b82807dac891866685b/workshop_3.JPG" /> <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/707e0fa327e0fce66c9c81e46786819e51feb727cf95b69a981ab2e90d3bb8c5/20151226_121558-Large.jpg" data-mid="240410792" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/707e0fa327e0fce66c9c81e46786819e51feb727cf95b69a981ab2e90d3bb8c5/20151226_121558-Large.jpg" /> <img width="2736" height="3648" width_o="2736" height_o="3648" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/203d4aef7eed1571fc2513d5d0878792d6474f8d6dc3ec87dec071954dda59c3/IMG_1884.jpg" data-mid="240419500" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/203d4aef7eed1571fc2513d5d0878792d6474f8d6dc3ec87dec071954dda59c3/IMG_1884.jpg" /> <img width="1983" height="1077" width_o="1983" height_o="1077" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/33369357abee06ed35da998e1c9afd5005e891ff17e74092771f219b995b6934/OVERVIEW-03.jpg" data-mid="240411081" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/33369357abee06ed35da998e1c9afd5005e891ff17e74092771f219b995b6934/OVERVIEW-03.jpg" /> <img width="2048" height="1536" width_o="2048" height_o="1536" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/76b139ebf76db0121bb3646b849f65ff15f019b1ace8a483aa009910e92e21c1/DSCN5856.JPG" data-mid="240419571" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/76b139ebf76db0121bb3646b849f65ff15f019b1ace8a483aa009910e92e21c1/DSCN5856.JPG" /> <img width="3648" height="2736" width_o="3648" height_o="2736" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6802eb503fe843c9230e699f526ee39a630f59db0a7792f3fc5e73422eb03837/IMG_4375.jpg" data-mid="240410651" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/6802eb503fe843c9230e699f526ee39a630f59db0a7792f3fc5e73422eb03837/IMG_4375.jpg" /> <img width="3504" height="2336" width_o="3504" height_o="2336" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5dada178c809919b696fa45b5b561fd02607cdbef5a336064691a7e322152a27/IMG_3050.JPG" data-mid="240419501" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5dada178c809919b696fa45b5b561fd02607cdbef5a336064691a7e322152a27/IMG_3050.JPG" /> <img width="2592" height="1936" width_o="2592" height_o="1936" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3d3c49044a880ff233b27ab1768d8b40d69d7e2794ec77a2f87f06f206f42ad5/HPIM4565.JPG" data-mid="240419512" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3d3c49044a880ff233b27ab1768d8b40d69d7e2794ec77a2f87f06f206f42ad5/HPIM4565.JPG" /> <img width="3872" height="2592" width_o="3872" height_o="2592" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3d25eb711cf5cc84fd93c2c7156b02a390be34ca6409b6a7b81b7005addaa248/DSC01637.JPG" data-mid="240410648" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3d25eb711cf5cc84fd93c2c7156b02a390be34ca6409b6a7b81b7005addaa248/DSC01637.JPG" /> https://oribenzvi.com/Drawers Sun, 19 Sep 2021 05:48:44 +0000 oribenzvi https://oribenzvi.com/Drawers Drawers+, Reclaimed ready-made drawers with a wall mounted plywood construction (fallout of laser and CNC factories) + new function (book shelf, IPad, smartphone docking, makeup area). The project started as an attempt in collecting readymade material through the social media, as a way to collect a large number of drawers for the first “wet paint” exhibition. Around 100 drawers were collected in under a month. The drawers were cleaned and then brought back to use, with an added value (hence the project’s name). The project focused on bedside, floating cabinets, offering various functions. It did relatively well commercially. It raised questions on the way to streamline the collection and the marketing of slightly different objects (as readymade = none identical). The differentiation amongst the collected ready made implied a constant need to fine-tune the design.

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.
