Blasted Vase and Side Table by Kai Linke

Frankfurt designer Kai Linke has created a series of vases and side tables by sand-blasting timber to enhance the texture of the grain then casting the resulting shapes in ceramic.

Linke presented the new pieces in his ongoing Blasted Familii series at Tendence fair in Frankfurt last month.

“Blasted Familii is a series of simple, blasted objects made out of spruce wood,” he explains.

“The objects appear to be rough and aged but at the same time the wooden relief tells another story.”
