Vita
Justin Allen is a Berlin-based architect and co-founder of ALLEN KAUFMANN ARCHITEKTEN (est. 2014). With AKO, ALLEN KAUFMANN OBJECTS, he develops furniture and objects driven by material, joinery and proportion. Focus: solid-wood systems using Dado and Dovetail joinery, visible construction, repairable, designed to be disassembled and reassembled.
Talk
From Flat Parts to Furniture: Dado + Dovetail. In 7 minutes Justin and team assemble a piece live from flat solid-wood parts, no tools. The talk links architecture and making: precision and tolerances, flat-pack logic, sustainability, and an attempt to reduce an object to its quintessence through material and joinery.
