When I wrote in my earlier post that staircases fascinate me to no end, it was only half the story. Add bridges to it.

Bridges and staircases fascinate me to no end. And I am on an ever going tour of finding out how to incorporate these two elements in my small home.
Sounds crazy? Isn’t it! It is possible to have elements of staircase in decor at least; but bridges!
While you shake your head and mutter some words related to crazy or disbelief; I want to prove I am not alone in my ‘impossible sounding dream world.’

Matthias Pliessnig, Wisconsin, USA based designer is very famous for bending wood to his will! And making sculptural furniture pieces out of this bent wood. Wood
becomes elastic in his hands. Many of us remember him by his creation
‘pierce’ ?
He uses coopering techniques and boat building techniques to achieve compound curves.When you see these ‘bridge’ benches you can imagine that I could not have done anything else but jump up and down.

Thank you for the kind reaction to my work… and especially for your approach to them as bridges. The initial intent of the work was evoke the idea of bridge. Don’t hesitate on reacting to more of my work, it’s quite flattering!

Cool new layout !
Hey!
Loved this. I am a fan of bridges too. Any architectural structure actually. The fact that we can construct anything really, still blows my mind six ways to Sunday.
Totally in love with your new blog look. You have been renovating!
