CO:CONE
an element that
expands when wet,
contracts when dry.
a feature that creates
a natural movement.
just as the
pine cone.
The project of CO:CONE started out with selecting plants that naturally could create a new material or product.
Since both reed and pine wood are easily renewable, that was a given starting point.
These materials collaborate with the features of the pine cone and create a structure
that naturally responds to humidity in the air. A product that could be used as shading - on the roof, wall or window.
Cones are amazing.
Since they have to kinds of wooden layer that responds differently to humidity,
a natural movement occurs. The two layers are of diverse density,
and since low density expands more, the opening of the pine come to pass.
CO:CONE translates this feature to moving shades.
Instead of cones, pinewood veneer is the porous part, and wood glue the stabilizer.
