Ses créations, meubles d&#8217;intérieur, sont tous assemblés ou sculptés à partir de morceaux de bois récupéré. On est loin ici des approximations du bois flotté ou des meubles en palette : les finitions des meubles de Brent Comber, à l&#8217;huile naturelle, mettent en valeur les veines du red cedar (cèdre rouge), autrefois vénéré en tant qu&#8217;&#8221;arbre de vie&#8221; par les peuples premier de la côte ouest du Canada. Cette forme n&#8217;est pas unique, on retrouve dans les créations de Brent Comber toutes les déclinaisons de la géométrie : concave, convexe, cylindrique. Mais l&#8217;année dernière, à la ICFF (International Contemporary Furniture Fair, New York) ce sont les &#8220;meubles de branches&#8221; (fallen branch furniture) qui  attiraient l&#8217;attention&nbsp; : ces assemblages de bois en bout forment des tables basses dont le charme dépasse la simple beauté du bois. Le site de Brent Comber&nbsp; illustre bien les sources d&#8217;inspiration, et d&#8217;aprovisionnement, qui empruntent à la nature le meilleur d&#8217;elle-même, dans un souci constant de préservation de la resource et de respect du matériau de base, l&#8217;arbre.

The branches are pressed together so tightly that there is virtually no space between them, and then the designer sands, polishes and varnishes each surface.  I know it may look like paperclips or something could fall in the cracks - but they can&#039;t, because the varnish over the top keeps creates a flat layer.  Check the website for more photographs, and you will see what I mean.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yes, the surface is perfectly flat.
