Cardboard Sphere
System: Stacking + center pins
View of interior securing pins
We tried using cardboard pins however they did not provide the necessary flexibility to ‘clip’ into place.

CLT 3 TT (Layers)
CLT 3 TT (Layers)
NAME: CLT (Cross-Laminated Timber )
FORMULA/ CHEMICAL COMPOSTION:
Spruce ( pine,fir,stone pine and other woods)
MATERIAL DESCRIPTION:
Cross-laminated timber (CLT) panels consist of several layers of lumber stacked crosswise and glued together on their faces.CLT is composed of an uneven number of layers (in general three, five, seven or even more), each consisting of side-by-side placed boards (or beams), which are crosswise arranged to each other normally under an angle of 90° and quasi rigidly connected by adhesive bonding.
EXTRACTION PROCESS:
The timber is sourced from sustainably managed forests in Europe, North America or New Zealand. Timber is the only sustainable construction material as it stores carbon for its entire life cycle. Sustainable forests are managed in such a way that ensures that trees are planted to replace the trees that are harvested.

3_Elisa Strozyk "Wooden Textiles" http://www.elisastrozyk.de/seite/woodtex/woodentextiles.html Elisa Strozyk has decided to take an experimental tack in her creative work. The young designer from Berlin creates objects that surprise and encourage the observer to take a second, closer look at her designs. Elisa’s objects have a very particular aesthetic, which arises both from the shapes they are given and from a highly unconventional use of material. Elisa Strozyk has attracted a lot of attention with her textiles, sheets, rugs and clothes made from a very unusual material: wood.

Cork Oak (Quercus suber)
FORMULA/ CHEMICAL COMPOSITION
C123H182O56N
MATERIAL DESCRIPTION
Cork is the external protective layer of dead cells (known as bark) on an evergreen Cork Oak tree (Quercus suber). The bark is composed of cells consisting of a gaseous composition similar to air particles, combined with layers of cellulose and suberin. The Cork Oak tree grows in the Mediterranean, particularly in Portugal and Spain.
EXTRACTION PROCESS
The harvesting process is achieved by stripping the bark off of the tree during the spring and summer seasons every nine to ten years, using a traditional cork axe.
BASIC PROPERTIES
- COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH (N/M2) 152 N/M2
- TENSILE STRENGTH (N/M2) 1.00E+00 N/M2
- STIFFNESS (N/M2) -
- DENSITY (KG/M3) 100-130 KG/M3
- CARBON FOOTPRINT (AVERAGE KGCO2E/KG) 0.379 KGCO2E
- RECYCLABLE YES
- LASER HIGHLY EFFECTIVE
- SMALL LASER HIGHLY EFFECTIVE
- MILLING HIGHLY EFFECTIVE
- 3D PRINTING -
ADVANTAGE IN THE CONTEXT OF DIGITAL FABRICATION
Cork is a strong and light material that can be easily manipulated through digital fabircation. Due to its low desnity, it can be easily cut using a laser cutter or milling machine into a variety of forms. The waste it produces can be recycled and re-used for different digtial fabrication designs.

The lamps are hand-turned out of Portuguese agglomerate cork blocks and created using waste cork from wine stopper manufacturers. The left over waste is fed back into the process and used to produce the next bunch of lamps.
