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!

Matthias Pliessnig, Wisconsin, USA based designer is very pierce-mathias-p.giffamous 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 span2002ashdanish-cord-c.giflintel2001mathias2.gifachieve compound curves.When you see these ‘bridge’ benches you can imagine that I could not have done anything else but jump up and down.
