Wood is versatile and can be paired with any material to create a balanced and harmonious design. Here are 10 unique pairings of wood with different materials:
Aluminum.
Israel-based designer Hilla Shamia created this piece by pouring molten aluminum directly onto a whole tree trunk. The process burns the wood’s exterior, resulting in a unique and ever-changing appearance.
Made from reclaimed wood, this unique mirror features a hand-shaped frame, ensuring that each piece is one of a kind. With a sleek and stylish design, the combination of glass and mango wood results in a rugged yet elegant aesthetic. The impressive aspect of this mirror lies not in the choice of materials, but in its actual design.
Handcrafted of cedar wood and steel, this bench has a minimalist design. A live edge slab of wood folds and meets a steel beam, each element exposing its natural beauty by contrasting with the other. Available for $3,500.
Lucite.
These nesting tables perfect the combination of wood and lucite. The transparent shell showcases the interior’s true beauty, beyond the outer portion.
The Bare Bones Ghost Chair consists of six worn-out pieces of wood and an acrylic sheet, creating a transparent and stunning design.
Very simple and with a straightforward design, this dining table has a base made of two sheets of plexiglass and a beautiful live edge wooden top with a grey finish.
The combination of materials in this coffee table includes a walnut top and a plexi base. This design is meant to both stand out and blend in with its minimalist look.
Now let’s talk about glass.
The wood’s unique imperfections are highlighted in Jalmari Laihinen’s Broken collection, which is designed to enhance its natural properties. The pieces display splinters from broken connections.
Handcrafted by Tao Concrete, this dining table merges wood and concrete seamlessly. The four legs and the live edge in the center are made of wood, while two pieces of concrete connect the elements. Price: $3,750.
The outdoor benches were made from the same combination of materials. They have a simple and neat minimalist design, with each material contrasting with the other.
Fire.
Belgian designer Kaspar Hamacher has discovered a unique method of creating furniture by stripping the bark from wooden logs and burning away specific sections. This innovative technique combines wood with fire to produce stunning and one-of-a-kind pieces.
A dining table with a metal pipe base can enhance an industrial interior design and can even be a DIY project.
An industrial-style shelving unit uses pipes for the framework and reclaimed wood for the shelves. Additionally, a rope can be incorporated for added decorative effect.
A nautical-themed shelf is hung on the wall with metal hooks and rope, adding a touch of elegance to the bathroom or a beach house.
