This provides a great scope for recycling wood into furniture like you do. My friend and I study industrial design. We already have an inclination towards furniture design.As many machines (for industries here) are imported from all over the world, there is quite a lot of pacakging-wood available here. We managed to get some and made a dining table and a few chairs. I will forward you the pictures if you are interested. The dining table design is entirely new and it only cost us 500Rupees or 10US$ to make! (excluding the cost of the glass that makes the top...which my sister donated).My point is there is an immense possibility here in India for re-using wood. Its a great financial opportunity too for great "designer" furniture. We would certainly like to share knowledge with you. We love your simple yet elegant designs. On a lighter note..you should think of setting up shop here in India...there's plenty of "waste" wood and lots of houses that badly need good furnitre...Looking forward to your reply..Aditya Somway & Don KorenP.S: Do you offer internships??

I love seeing green and sustainable projects on here. I wonder if they go after construction waste, too. That'd probably be a different line entirely, but could make for some lovely stuff with a rougher look. Beautiful stuff. I love seeing green and sustainable projects on here.

I notice you have chosen to laminated various plywood and chipboard with all kinds of hardwood. Having acquired this stuff by way of scrap piles, every piece of your wood will have a varying moisture content and therefore expand and contract differently from each peice adjacent to it. Especially in the case of plywood, which is extremely stable, and the hardwoods (while being only a section of a tree, are very much alive). How are you accounting for this material expansion in your designs? Do you let it aclimate? Are you kiln-drying each peice to the same moisture content? -Nick I’m looking at your ‘Green’ Furniture designs made of assorted laminated woods.
