WHILE THE GEOMETRY ORIGINATES THROUGH COMPUTATIONAL DESIGN, ITS REALIZATION DEPENDS ENTIRELY ON THE EXPERTISE OF LOCAL RATTAN CRAFTSMEN. EACH RATTAN CANE IS INDIVIDUALLY SELECTED, SHAPED, AND HAND-FASTENED TO TRANSLATE DIGITAL GEOMETRY INTO PHYSICAL FORM. THE NATURAL FLEXIBILITY OF THE MATERIAL ALLOWS IT TO FLOW THROUGH COMPLEX CURVES, WHILE THE CRAFTSMEN'S EXPERIENCE GUIDES EVERY BEND, CONNECTION, AND DETAIL. THE RESULT IS A SCULPTURE THAT CELEBRATES BOTH CONTEMPORARY DESIGN TECHNOLOGY AND THE ENDURING TRADITION OF LOCAL RATTAN CRAFTSMANSHIP, DEMONSTRATING HOW DIGITAL WORKFLOWS CAN ENRICH LOCAL CRAFTS.
