About the Item
At the core of the “Branch-Ish Shelf” is one reoccurring element; the branch textured prints. Here, Schimmel and Schwiekle took an image of a natural branch into the 3D modelling software, created a 3D texture, out of it which was then printed.
The whole shelving unit is made from 24 identical branch beams. In their totality, they appear like a natural structure, but when looking closer the digital manufacturing technique becomes clear as you see that the whole structure is made from one repeating element.
In contrast to the natural branch, texture stands the very constructive connection of the separate beams. To connect them, Schimmel
Schweikle gave each end of the beam a 45-degree angle and connect them with a dowel going through both ends of a beam. This idea of connecting two wooden pieces comes from traditional carpentry where making wood joints is a major way to connect wooden pieces without screws or nails.
In this example, Schimmel
Schweikle aim to show how 3D printing can borrow/learn from traditional crafts by adapting concepts of construction. The notches that form around the aluminium tubes make it look as if the aluminium tubes have been there for years and the branch began to grow around the tube. This is another type of natural behaviour that can be simulated by the computer, and further blurs the border between computer-generated and natural growth.
The four pillars are connected with 5 wooden planks made from American white oak. These planks not just structurally connect the prints but also from a conceptual point of view connect the 3D printed beams to their natural origin.
This piece was exhibited in Schimmel and Schweikle's solo show 'A tree full of splinters' in the Antwerp based Everyday Gallery.
Janne Schimmel (Dutch) and Moreno Schweikle (German) met at the renowned Design Academy in Eindhoven, The Netherlands.
