Tandem Grain
@tandemgrain · Kyoto, JP · Laser + joinery
Flat-pack objects that assemble without glue or fasteners, using cut geometry as the joint.
A furniture maker who moved the joinery vocabulary onto a laser bed. Nothing in the catalogue uses adhesive — the kerf is calculated so the friction fit holds for years and still comes apart if you need it to.
