Finished with fire
The frame of the Smoke (dining) chairs and the body of the Smoke Chandelier are set on fire, causing the wood to burn, smolder and eventually char.
After this, the pieces are not brushed clean to preserve the burned structures. When needed, pieces are re-placed or otherwise fixed so that they get back their original function. After the pieces have cooled completely, they are treated with a thick layer of epoxy. In this way the chair, the chandelier and the armchair remain firm and the charred wood intact. When the epoxy is completely cured, the seats of the chairs are covered with fire-retardant foam and then, finally, the seats are covered with deep black leather which is fixed with mat black nails.
