Albin Merle's latest video is a 'product build' video of a simple stool. I found the entire process, images and sound very satisfying to watch! This experimental piece explores the fusion of natural and synthetic materials in furniture design. The stool features a 3D-printed seat combined with wooden legs, highlighting the contrast and harmony between digital fabrication and traditional craftsmanship. A dynamic visual sequence reveals the genesis and assembly of the stool, exposing the inner structure and materiality at the heart of the object. For the sound design, Liam embarked on a forest expedition to capture the natural tones of wood ( creaks, cracks, and textures reminiscent of tree rings) . These recordings were then transformed through granular processing and EQ, reinventing the essence of wood into synthetic, 3D-printed-like plastic sounds. The music draws inspiration from Euclidean rhythms, blending the percussion of a traditional symphony orchestra with the deep resonance of Japanese taikos and driving analog beats.
