Mainly the wood used in Iceland is imported. We decided to work with what was localy available. Due to hard climatic conditions the larch and birch that grow in the country stay short and twisted and lots of waste is produce looking for the perfect wood board. In order to use wood without wasting material, the well known technic of gluing short pieces of wood together is commonly used in Iceland. We decided to celebrate this necessary technic by coloring the glue instead of hiding it.
