About Infinity Interior Element
Infinity is a suspended wooden installation created for the interior of a furniture shop. The work is made of pressed wood veneers formed into two basic shapes, repeated many times in several orientations. Precise geometrical joints connect the pieces into one continuous flowing line. Each pressed piece is 1 meter long and 6 mm thick. Infinity hangs from the ceiling on metal wires 1 mm thick, 4 meters above the floor, and covers an area about 4 meters wide and 10.5 meters long. A handmade model was 3D scanned, and the mold was milled by CNC.
Cozí Studio's Infinity Interior Element emerges from a rich tradition of sculptural interventions that transform architectural spaces into sites of contemplative encounter, drawing upon lineages that connect mid-century investigations of organic form with contemporary explorations of material possibility and spatial poetry, and this ambitious installation demonstrates remarkable technical achievement in the manipulation of wood veneer or bentwood laminate into continuous ribbon-like forms that defy the material's inherent rigidity while celebrating its warm chromatic presence and elegant grain patterns, the compositional strategy establishing a sophisticated dialogue between the installation's biomorphic vocabulary and the industrial character of the host architecture with its exposed ductwork, concrete surfaces, and systematic ceiling grid, creating productive tension between organic fluidity and geometric order that rewards sustained attention, the arrangement of curving elements suggests multiple interpretive frameworks including references to natural phenomena such as wind-swept grasses, flowing water, or the unfurling of botanical forms, while simultaneously evoking more abstract concepts of continuity, transformation, and the infinite suggested by the work's title, the technical facility required to achieve such seamless curves and consistent material quality throughout forms of this scale speaks to sophisticated workshop practice and deep material knowledge, and the chromatic warmth of the wood creates an inviting counterpoint to the cool institutional palette of the surrounding architecture, humanizing the space and establishing conditions for meaningful aesthetic experience, the inclusion of a human figure within the documented view serves not merely as scale reference but suggests the experiential dimension of the work, the way it invites bodily awareness and phenomenological engagement as visitors move beneath and around its hovering presence, viewers might consider how the work activates their awareness of the space above them, a zone typically ignored in daily experience, and how the organic forms transform functional architecture into a site of wonder.
Press Kit
- Unique Properties
- Wooden wall panels come alive and wander off around the interior space. Precise geometrical joints create a fluid continuous form out of numerous pieces of pressed bent wood.
The entire element, made of only two different basic shapes attached together multiple times in several orientations, comes together to create an organic-like natural fluid line.
Suspended from the ceiling using 1 mm thin metal wires, the wooden surface floats as far as 10.5 meters away from the wall. - Dimensions & Packaging
- Infinity is suspended 4 meters off the floor and covers an area that is roughly 4 meters wide and 10.5 meters long.
Each single pressed wooden piece is 1 meter long and 6 mm thick. - Tags

- Production Technology
- Infinity is made of pressed wood veneers. In order to design this organic flow curve, a physical model was hand made and then 3D scanned to create a file base for us to work on thus maintaining a handcrafted feel to the object.
After CNC milling the mold, thin wood veneers layered with glue were pressed against each other to create the "building blocks" that later formed the object. - Project Duration
- The project was designed and built February - April 2021. Designed for a furniture shop's interior design.
- Operation Flow
- Walking around and underneath Infinity, you feel drawn into the tangled
wooden curve. The object feels as if it is in continuous motion. - Inspiration
- Confetti paper rolls throne in the air creating an infinite airborne doodle in mid flight was the idea that we wanted to recreate.
We know that for many, this project resembles a ribbon gymnast dance frozen inmid air.
The use of pressed wood creates a contrast between the dynamic soft shape and the clean elegance historically embedded in the material. - Image Credits
