“interior ignition stage” epitomises the timeless beauty of wood, celebrating its natural warmth and character. The collaborative symphony between Lambridis and his fellow artisans resulted in the pushing of craft boundaries. The spark of creativity ignited in this work’s design grew into the passion that fuelled the concept of “fused before charred.” These pieces share a creative lineage, with one influencing the other as they were developed simultaneously.

There was a shared mindset between the team, an excitement that kept momentum in the development of the pieces even when there was never a precise idea of the finished article. The artworks now stand as the results of consistent material improvisations, products of their specific circumstance. Nate and Louis, the two other woodworking artisans, are special to Lambridis as these artworks would not exist in this way without them.
