Set in the south of France, Domaine de Boisbuchet is international workshop affiliated with the Vitra Design Museum. Along with my wife Anna, an interior designer, this unique opportunity we will have us exposed to a creative environment with participants and cultures from all over the world.
PCM & Thomas Kral, who are faciltating the workshop ‘One Tool, One Product’, proposes the question, “What could we make if we confined to one method of fabrication.”
Today I decided to pick up a hammer and gently.

‘The transformation is repeated along the galvanised wire length’ – Tomas Kral Boisbuchet – Image Dean Homicki
‘The transformation creates natural curves. Hit it too hard and it fractures. Can we join it back together?’ – Tomas Kral Boisbuchet – Image Dean Homicki
‘A simple lap joint end-to-end of the galvanised wire length’ – Tomas Kral Boisbuchet – Image Dean Homicki
‘The lap joint is formed and a neck-wear is created. This what a hammer made’ – Tomas Kral Boisbuchet – Image Dean Homicki
‘The same forging and joining principal is applied to a length of copper’ – Tomas Kral Boisbuchet – Image Dean Homicki
‘The copper wire is wrapped and twisted together. It is then forged with the hammer again. The old anvil decorates the surface of the object’ – Tomas Kral Boisbuchet – Image Dean Homicki
‘This is made by hammer. One Tool, One Object ‘ – Tomas Kral Boisbuchet – Image Dean Homicki
‘Made by hammer in a jewelry context ‘ – Tomas Kral Boisbuchet – Image Dean Homicki
‘The cold forged galvanised steel neck-wear and copper wire wrist-wear’ – Tomas Kral Boisbuchet – Image Dean Homicki
‘Tomas Kral comes to investigate. ‘What other tool could transform a material. What about wood Dean. What tool/scould transform it?’ – Looks like I know what material we will work with on Day 2 of the workshops’ – Tomas Kral Boisbuchet – Image Dean Homicki
