Anton Alvarez : The Craft of Thread Wrapping

Designer suédois basé à Londres, diplômé du Royal College of Art, Anton Alvarez a créé des meubles en bois donc les différentes pièces sont liées par un fil enduit de colle. Grace à sa "Thread Wrapping Machine", les meubles naissent et s'habille d'une fil coloré qui les enserre et en dessine le volume.

Anton Alvarez précise:

"Objects build with the Thread Wrapping Machine, only the glue-coated thread is used to hold the components of the pieces together. The Thread Wrapping Machine is a tool to join different types of material with only a glue-coated thread to bond it. By using this construction method materials such as wood, steel, plastic or bricks can be joined to form objects and spaces. I wanted to create an externalised joint, that would enable me to combine a big range of different materials that normally would require very time consuming methods of jointing them together. At the same time a decorative pattern appears with the different colours of the thread."
