Mathias Bengtsson takes laser cutting to the next logical level
If laser cutting is the new handcrafted, then Mathias Bengtsson is a master craftsman. Generated by machine, his designs look like they have been carved from centuries of exposure to the elements, but in reality it is the flexibility of laser cutting that allows Bengtsson to create organic forms out of materials that don't normally lend themselves to manipulation.
Bengtsson uses materials that are both natural and manufactured, and some of his pieces are fashioned out of the unexpected like fire retardant foam that has to be water-cut and joined by tension rods for stability. Each material seems to be carefully chosen to highlight the sinuousness of the final design. Born in Copenhagen, Bengtsson studied furniture design at the Danish Design School then went on to study at The Art Centre College-Europe, and the Royal College of Art in London.
