The genesis of the “hunted wood” approach beginswith an observation: the current context of climate gency, has in recent years sparked renewed interest in wood design and construction. This new growth implies questions about the origin of this resource, increasingly coveted in the international market.The reuse of pieces of wood presents itself as a new avenue to explore for save materials, give a second life to materials considered to be waste or limit transport times.

Concerned about reducing itscarbon impact, the primaryobjective of the pair, is to find thesource of wood in its immediateenvironment. This first stage called“hunting wood”, is a stage of prospecting for organic waste in forest areas, peri-urban and city centers. The different wooden elements can be scraps of dead wood, class B or AB wood (non-dangerous treated wood), such as doors cabinets, used formwork wood, demolition wood, panels, wood work, old furniture, windows Follows a diagnosis phase, wherethe “hunted” pieces of wood arethen analyzed,cleaned, sorted thenvalidated. The selected elements are classified by species, sizes, weights, and dried according to their humidity. Careful observation of fragments of solid wood found, of various species, allows us to invent new works unique, available in several forms (furniture, sculptures, assemblies, architectural structure. The artist implemented this eco-responsible practice throughfirst prototypes: lighting works ofart, furniture design, landscape structures in wooden.
