The Design

About Black Star 장식용 기물

블랙 스타(Black Star)는 오리나무를 손으로 깎아 만든 장식용 기물이다. 이 디자인은 결이나 색이 거의 없는 수종을 눈으로 보기에 아름답고 손으로 만지기에 흥미로운 오브제로 탈바꿈시킨다. 외형은 목선반 가공으로 다듬고, 내부는 굽은 공구를 사용해 파냈다. 이어서 수많은 작은 구멍을 손으로 뚫어 원뿔 형태로 다듬은 뒤, 그 안쪽에 주황색 착색을 입혔다. 낙화(烙畫) 펜으로는 작은 별 문양을 새겨 넣었다. 마지막으로 표면을 검게 태워 마감해 부드럽고 따뜻한 촉감과 강렬한 대비를 만들어냈다. 기물의 크기는 220 × 220 × 180밀리미터이다.

Unique Properties
The concept of the design is based on the transformation of wood species that have no grain or color into an object vessel pleasing to the eye and additionally achieving an interesting haptic feeling. The design object is handcrafted, beginning with woodturning for forming the outside and hollowing the inside of the object. Drilling and forming the holes into the outer surface comes next, as well as adding color stain. The usage of a pyrographic pen brings further embellishment onto the piece. Finally the object is charred black, resulting in a soft and warm touch, as well as adding contrast.

Production Technology
Woodturning and alder wood
The alder wood is put on the lathe and the outside form is turned with hand tools, then i drill a hole in the middle and with bend tools i remove some of the inside but i will leave a larger wall thickness, because I will drill many holes using an akku-drill freehand just by eye . With a so called eye-drill-bit i form the cones and with an orange Color stain i paint all the holes. Next step is using a pyrographic pen to add the little stars. Finally i use a gas torch an burn the hole piece black. I put a picture-story into the external link. Please check it out.
Design Challenge
Starting with a small scale version and producing a bigger one that looks as good as, or better than the small one.
Research
I started experimenting with this design on a smaller scale vessel from cherry wood. On that smaller vessel i only drilled the holes and left them flat, and for this one i formed the holes to Little cones, to achieve a more organic look.
Inspiration
I made a wallsculpture in wood that had some holes with stars and i saw some ceramic vessel that had many dots on it. I imagined what would happen if i put these 2 elements into one woodturned piece.
Project Duration
3 Days in Hanau in my workshop.
Operation Flow
Put on a shelf or table with some light from the side will show the vessels beauty to the full extend. You can also grab it and feel the texture and material.
