PERISHED
Quoted from Flickr (click-the-pic to read more):
PERISHED, Job Smeets is Belgian & Nynke Tynagel is Dutch.
A furniture ensemble, realised in precious hardened tropical woods, decorated with inlays depicting animal skeletons. It recalls art decò but also Flemish art and is proposed as a precious collector's set. The objects are used as canvases on which to write in ancient hieroglyphics or modern graffiti. The inlays were cut using high-tech lasers and assembled by expert craftsmen. "We want to create a collection that is exclusive for the quality of the materials and techniques; haute couture products that will last at least a hundred years,".
