Round 1, Match 2: Brazilian Tulipwood vs Cumaru
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Brazilian tulipwood and cumaru have a surprising string of similarities: they are both reddish South American hardwoods with surprising uses by French people. Brazilian tulipwood is more of a shrub than a tree, and it’s only found in a small geographical area. The two factors mean supply is quite limited. It is not listed as endangered, but there are restrictions on international trade to keep it from becoming so. It is unusually hard and heavy wood, with gorgeous colors, and allegedly was used in a lot of furniture for French kings Louis XV and Louis XVI. (Since it’s available only in small pieces, it’s mostly used as an accent on furniture.) Not to be confused with tulip poplar, which is native to North America :)
Cumaru wood, meanwhile, is a bit more readily available, but based on what I’ve read the tree actually may be better known for producing Tonka beans. These beans have a cinnamon-vanilla-y flavor and are used by chefs around the world—apparently French pastry chefs especially like them! But they have been banned in the U.S. since the 1950s due to containing a carcinogen called coumarin. Wild.

Potowatami spoon, c. 1870.
Region: North-east America.
This wooden spoon was made by the Potowatami who lived in north-eastern America. Even after the arrival of the new materials introduced by the Europeans, wood remained the favoured material for eating bowls and spoons or ladles. Nomadic people needed lightweight utensils and families would treasure their stock of bowls and spoons. In earlier times, bowls for every day use and for feasting, as well as spoons, were hollowed out of a burr of wood by burning t with hot cinders and then scraping away the charred wood. Spoons and ladles usually had animals carved on their handles, as does this example which dates from around 1870. The spoon was probably not shaped by the charring method but by the use of an adapted European blacksmith’s knife. It was reported by a contemporary observer that those men who were less skilled at hunting deer for trading, carved tulipwood bowls in order to exchange them with the hunters. In this way they obtained their skins. At the time the spoon was fashioned, many Native Americans had become famously skilled artisans.

More wands!
Here is my current wand stand. The order of the woods is Maple, Tulipwood, American Oak, European Beech and Walnut.
Tumblr media
I've shown the tulipwood and walnut before but not the other three so here are some better photos of the handles.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The Maple wand is my favourite I liked working with that wood so will probably get some more of that wood.
Also I made a Sapele wand and a Iroko wand that I gave to my girlfriend and best friend.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(Sapele left, Iroko right) I put those is boxes because presentation is important.
Iroko has blunted my blade quite a bit so if anyone has any sharpening tips it would be greatly appreciated.

‘The Smile’ designed by @AlisonBrooksArchitects was a laminated tulipwood structure at #London Design Festival in 2016. The spectacular, curved, tubular timber structure measures 3.5m high, 4.5m wide and 34m long and is effectively a beam curving up at both ends. Showcasing the structural and spatial potential of cross-laminated American tulipwood, Alison Brooks' concept is the first ever ‘mega-tube’ made with construction-sized panels of hardwood CLT.

Miralles Perpetuum Mobile, Disseny Hub Barcelona
Miralles Perpetuum Mobile Barcelona, Disseny Hub, Catalan Architecture, Photos, Spanish Projects, Designs
Miralles Perpetuum Mobile Barcelona
26 May 2021
Miralles. Perpetuum Mobile in Barcelona
From 27.05.21 to 29.08.21
Disseny Hub. Plaça de les Glòries, 37 Barcelona
Entry Fee: 3 € (Entry fee to Disseny HUB)
Following the launch of the first three exhibitionts of the Miralles homage, Perpetuum Mobile opens at Disseny Hub on Wednesday 26th May, promoted by the Fundació Enric Miralles with the support of the Barcelona City Council and the Generalitat de Catalunya, to celebrate the work of Catalan architect Enric Miralles in his many facets as a creator, to mark the occasion of the 20th anniversary of his death.
The curators of the MIRALLES events are Benedetta Tagliabue and Joan Roig i Duran, with the collaboration of the Miralles Tagliabue EMBT architecture studio, the Escola Tècnica Superior d’Arquitectura (ETSAB) and the Col·legi d’Arquitectes de Catalunya (COAC).
MIRALLES. Perpetuum Mobile shows the lesser-known side of Enric Miralles as a furniture designer. While the architecture studio he set up and ran with Benedetta Tagliabue works on interior projects, this is the first time his design work is shown collectively at an exhibition.
Although Miralles took care of every detail of the interior design of many of his private and public projects, the architect never designed furniture thinking of reproducing it commercially. In this exhibition, models of furniture and objects that were developed mainly for the architect’s home are exhibited and have been reproduced and displayed thanks to the support of the American Hardwood Export Council (AHEC), with a selection of sustainable American hardwoods donated by AE Maderas.
Miralles’ creative process was often aimed at bringing life to his designs. A desire that is also reflected in his photographic collages, giving movement to the image, as shown in the exhibition MIRALLES. Photos & Collages that is also part of the tribute. In the Disseny Hub it will be possible to appreciate the intention of bringing life and movement applied to his furniture designs.
The last home of the architect in Barcelona was an old warehouse from which walls were knocked down, leaving an open and versatile space, perfect for Miralles, who imagined a house in motion, where the furniture did not have an established place or shape, but could be moved or modified according to the needs of each moment.
To make this contemporary vision of the interior space come true, he personally designed his furniture, sharing his sketches with craftsmen and carpenters, with whom he debated and experimented on these pieces.
The exhibition MIRALLES. Perpetuum Mobile started from an intense search for documentation among the architect’s most private archives, and from a close dialogue with the American Hardwood Export Council (AHEC) about the reproduction of nine of the pieces.
The original design of each piece of furniture has remained the same with just a few technical updates (such as new hinges and connections for some of the pieces), while the materials used have been updated. While the original pieces were made in other timbers, the reproductions have been manufactured using a selection of four underused American hardwood species including red oak, maple, cherry and tulipwood, chosen for their aesthetic, performance and environmental credentials.
During the research phase, a notebook with a detailed drawing of an unknown table was found. Named ‘Mistery’ table, this piece has been built for the first time at La Navarra by deciphering the instructions that Miralles left in his notes.
The exhibition showcases more than 20 pieces, among them the ‘Inestable’, ‘Dolmen’, ‘Troncs’ and ‘Tropical’ tables, the ‘Lelukaappi’ shelf inspired by the work of the architect Alvar Aalto, several chairs that were used in projects such as the Scottish Parliament or the headquarters of the Círculo de Lectores in Madrid, as well as unpublished lamps, which Enric had started to design and left unfinished.
youtube
The structure of the exhibition symbolically reproduces the private house of Miralles and Tagliabue; the pieces of furniture are distributed in the space imitating their original position, sketches and drawings on the walls unveil details of their designs, and photos of the architect’s family life show them in use. The lamps designed by Miralles illuminate the furniture and are used as decorative elements.
The exhibition is accompanied by a stop-motion video and a documentary produced by AHEC that explains the meticulous process of rebuilding the pieces of furniture, based on the original idea and shows the movements that bring this furniture to “life”.

Precedent for biophilic environment; “architecture of hope” designed to lift the spirits and set the scene for people to draw on strengths they may not have realised they had in order to cope.
dRRM Maggie’s Centre, Oldham
DETAILS
Maggie’s Centres seek to provide ‘the architecture of hope’. They offer free practical and emotional support for people affected by cancer. Built in the grounds of NHS cancer hospitals, the centres are safe and welcoming spaces. They lift the spirits and set the scene for people to draw on strengths they may not have realised they had in order to cope.
The design of Maggie’s Oldham is all this and more – less about form and more about content. A simple yet sophisticated wooden box of surprises. Supported on slender columns, the building floats above a garden framed by pine, birch and tulip poplar trees. From a central oasis, a tree grows up through the building, bringing nature inside. On entering, the visitor is met with a space, light and unexpected views down to the garden below, up to the sky, and out to the Pennine horizon.
The use of wood at Maggie’s Oldham is part of a bigger design intention to reverse the norms of hospital architecture, where clinical institutionalised environments can make patients feel dispirited. In wood there is hope, humanity, scale and warmth. Maggie’s Oldham is the first permanent building constructed from sustainable tulipwood cross-laminated timber, following on from dRMM, AHEC and Arup’s development of this material. All of the walls and roof are visibly structure and form an exquisite natural timber finish internally. The tulipwood CLT has been carefully detailed to bring out its natural beauty – it’s fine, variegated finish is more akin to a piece of furniture than a construction material. The slatted ceiling was created from wood left over from the CLT fabrication process, ensuring no waste.
We have considered the use of wood at every opportunity. As those undergoing chemotherapy sometimes feel pain on touching cold objects, oak rather than metal door handles have been used. Wood fibre insulation ensures a breathable, healthy environment whilst the huge window frames are American white oak. Externally the building is draped in custom-fluted, thermally modified tulipwood, like a surreal theatrical curtain.
Maggie’s Oldham is a carefully made manifesto for the architecture of health, realised in wood. The Centre has been made possible by the enormous generosity of the Stoller Charitable Trust, which has fully funded the Centre.
