ANTON ALVAREZ
Inventing a craft of his own, Swedish-Chilean artist Anton
Alvarez joins wood, steel and plastic to create furniture and
architectural objects. Utilising the Thread Wrapping Machine, a
tool designed and manufactured by himself, the artist connects
elements by cocooning them in vividly pigmented threads, coated in
glue. A new method of creating, the practice eliminates screws and
nails, often used to conjoin components and results in decorative
patterns, formed by the colourful threads.
