JILL: Have you got any people commissioning you for custom projects?
BART: We’ve got some custom jobs for pieces here and there. A couple big design studios have asked us if they can just purchase the “Scrapile” wood off us, so they can create their own designs from it.
CARLOS. But the problem is then we can’t control what happens to the wood. They wouldn’t give us credit, and who knows how the wood would end up being used.
BART: Yeah, it puts us in a weird position, because we make this material, but also design furniture.

Beautiful stuff. I love seeing green and sustainable projects on here. I wonder if they go after construction waste, too. That’d probably be a different line entirely, but could make for some lovely stuff with a rougher look.
I’m looking at your ‘Green’ Furniture designs made of assorted laminated woods. I notice you have chosen to laminated various plywood and chipboard with all kinds of hardwood. Having acquired this stuff by way of scrap piles, every piece of your wood will have a varying moisture content and therefore expand and contract differently from each peice adjacent to it. Especially in the case of plywood, which is extremely stable, and the hardwoods (while being only a section of a tree, are very much alive). How are you accounting for this material expansion in your designs? Do you let it aclimate? Are you kiln-drying each peice to the same moisture content?
