Produced as a limited edition in London, the Venturi stool shape is driven and inspired by the the Venturi physical effect; ‘a jet effect, as with a funnel the velocity of the fluid increases as the cross sectional area decreases’
GRP
The Venturi GRP is made of glass fiber with gloss gel coat and is carefully hand finished and polished to a mirror quality.
Wood,
The Venturi wood was digitally CNC produced and with great hand finishing techniques. The materials used are maple wood and with layers of dark oak veneer.
Process,
The Venturi stool was design using a set of 3D design software. Its long curves are restrained by the splines curvature continuity. A 3D file is then being sent to drive the CNC machine (Computer Numerical Control) sculpting the object by material removal using a robotic arm with a high speed spinning blade.The first Venturi wood was then formed, based on the CNC wood model, we made the mould and casted the first Ventuiri stool GRP collection
