Carrie’s design presents a rational vaulted timber structure with decorative hanging disks and block-printed detailing. The frame is made from solid red oak timber of a similar stock thickness, bolted together with a turned red oak capping. Cross joists at the top of the piece create divisions from which Carrie’s decorative disks are suspended. These disks are CNC-cut from 4mm plywood, veneered on both sides with red oak – a material decision to minimise weight, allowing this decorative timber canopy to drape well and move in the wind. The disks are connected via bookbinding rings and block-printed by Carrie. Narrative illustrations on each pillar are laser-cut and then printed, before being fitted to each upright.
