Drag (2009) 
Drag uses a traditional technique for making ornamental cornice mouldings using synthetic plaster. Half-pieces are rotated on a central axis as the plaster sets, then assembled to form a complete round turn. Several different typologies of objects (lamps, utility table, stool) have been made and each piece is unique. A minimal industrial process that integrates organic imperfection.
