Grit

The furniture collection by Israeli designer Avi Fedida is made using sand paper as the main component through intervening in the process of attrition.

The inspiration for the Grit furniture collection came from the love to materials that constantly develop a unique character of their own with the effect of time and wear.

Designing my furnitures, I decided to use sand paper as the main component through intervening in the process of attrition, where the sand paper practically becomes a kind of canvas.
The project introduces innovation in terms of materials and techniques that create texture by grinding a rich variety of wood on the paper.
The sand paper is integrated within white oak constructions, which is all built in fine craft, hand made carpentry and remains as exposed as possible.
