Kenta Takeshige

Bench

• Material: Pine, CLS

This was an experiment as there are certain difficulties to make furniture with construction woods. I tried with design and finishing techniques to make more of plain construction woods.

Violin

• Material: Spruce, Maple, Ebony

Replica of Stradivarius model 1689.

Simple Violin

• Material: Spruce, Maple, Ebony

I admire musical instrument making, which demands more delicate construction than furniture making and has an extra function; tone. This is a simplified violin.

Sculptures SHÔ

• Material: Aluminum, Washi (Japanese paper), persimmon tannin

Art Project "SHÔ" by Treibgut. My task was to measure the original small objects, draw blueprints, construct framework models on scale, and enlarge these frameworks up to real size. In collaboration with other artists, we realised floating sculptures for performing art at Tour & Taxis.
