Weaving Wood

by Kewei Zhao for ZKW Studio

Weaving Wood Cabinet is a trapezoidal walnut cabinet featuring three side panels constructed from a woven walnut veneer textile. The weaving density varies across the surface, producing a subtle gradient in texture. This manual process, not achievable through mechanical means, combines the structural rigidity of wood with the pliability of textile. When exposed to sunlight, the surface casts layered shadows, and the alignment of the wood grain contributes to a consistent visual rhythm.
