设计师Meike Harde在木材表面舞起水墨彩画。这种通过在木材表面上色的方法能够支持人们在此基础上创作出大量独特的作品。

Provoked by the movement of pigments and water the compositions are formed by an autonomous colour-dynamic. Wooden aquarelle, a colouring technique for wooden surfaces, allows the mass production of individually unique pieces.

设计师在木材表面倾倒各色颜料，这些色彩以不可控的方式蔓延，渐变，交融。除了木材的原色可以选择控制外，随后的着色过程则充满了戏剧性和随机性。设计师先将木材放在防水箱中，然后对木材进行上色，待颜料中的水分蒸发，完全干燥后，设计师会在木材表面刷一层透明漆。

The addition of liquid pigments on a wooden surface provokes an autonomous colour response. Random colour-gradients, soft transitions, polychrome streaks and nuances cover the wooden material like a translucent ink. This aquarelle technique was once used by painters August Macke and Emil Nolte.

Only the colour palette used for the initial impulse is controllable.

The colouring process runs chaotically and leaves random, dynamic patterns. Wooden Aquarelle is the result of a material study to colour wood. In a first step the wooden panel is clamped onto a water-proof frame. The wood is then coloured by adding pigmented water which soaks into the wood. The tinted water evaporates within a few hours and leaves a unique structure. After drying, the coloured wood is varnished with a transparent finish.

Further processing of the pigmented wood is optional. The method creates decorated wooden sheets which can be used in various ways such as a base material for furniture, wall panels, or floor tiles. Wooden Aquarell was applied to three furnishings. The side tables are essentially diagonally split cubes. Different heights make them nestable. They can be combined in various arrangements suggestive of mosaic.

The screen is made out of single boards. A U-shape is inserted on the top and bottom of the wood, fixed on one side but freely movable on the other. The metal part combines both connector and hinge in one part.

A square dining table is constructed nearly cut-free. The coloured wood is curved down on the edges to get a continuous decor. The table has removable legs to allow it to ship flat.
