Enignum – Amazingly Elegant Classy Canopy Bed by Joseph Walsh

Wood has a diverse set of qualities as it is hard, fibrous, a great transport of nutrients and a great valued resource in our ecosystem. This wonderful material has become Joseph Walsh’s creative journey. A self taught designer and Irish born, Joseph Walsh expresses his passion and imagination through his work ethic and commitment to exploring the depth and potential of wood as structure, form, material, technology and ecology. An amazingly elegant canopy bed by Joseph Walsh is an art piece in itself.

The Enignum Canopy Bed from Walsh’s Formations collection brings nature indoors, both in its material and in the way it “moves.” It invites the user to be sheltered in a natural translation indoors. The natural environment of sleeping under a canopy fed into his process; he explored cutting wood into thin layers and free form bending of the wood to its natural extension of elasticity. Not only does the process achieve a natural shelter but also exposes the humility and potential of how collaboration between man and material can create innovative products.[via]
