The Champagne House Ruinart approached me to find solutions to their huge waste of discarded grapevines. Usually, grapevines are burned and pollute the environment. Since ancient Roman times, they have found no other use.
At first, I have looked at the general size and proportions of the vines. Henc
e, I searched for the biggest cuttable size of the wood trunks, which resulted in a table landscape.
Consequently, I have cut the smallest piece size possible without losing the texture identity. As a result, I came up with a game that enriches the table culture in silent moments.
The wood is sometimes imperfect but beautiful for this reason. That made me look for options where the least structural force is applied.
As long sticks were the easiest and most abundant cut by the given shapes of the trunks, these sticks were ideal for pens.
