System 2X4

*System: an assemblage or combination of things or parts forming a complex or unitary whole.

*2x4:is a term used in North America for lumber that is finished/planed and cut to standardized width and depth specified in inches.


The first project for studio was to create a self-sustained system. We had to make no less than six cuts and use all the 18 inches of the 2x4.

At first I was completely lost, didn’t know what to do. I had a certain idea of what could be done with the machines at the wood shop, but I was blown away by all the machines available and to see you could get perfect cuts that didn’t require sanding.
I tried to gather inspiration from the spiders; they are one of my favorite sources of inspiration. What I liked about my system, is it could move the pieces and make a completely different system
