Never lost

“The question is,” said Alice, “whether you can make words mean so many different things.” “The question is,” said Humpty Dumpty, “which is to be master—that’s all.”

The coffee bar

We’re working on a coffee bar made out of re-used pallets for the Eco-village Bergen. It’s just so much fun to build it…

What is so nice about re-using pellet wood to me is that it has had a life and it shows. There are the holes of nails, rusty spots, grey areas and rough edges. There are ink-stamps with text and numbers. There’s a lot of ‘feel’ to it once it has its new destiny.

I try to reuse all of it. All the nails and wood. Find pieces that naturally fit together and make a unit. The planks and beams themselves give rise to sizes and shapes and the ‘design’ part is a combination of the size of the planks, the beams and the object.
