In connection with a project by the  FSC brand and  certification, I explored what happens with wood scraps  and  sick trees in the rain forest. In non-FSC  approved factories, it's left unused. Factories with an  FSC certificate, however,  use these leftovers  to create  MDF.  

​

The only negative result of this  is that people don't  like MDF.  It is usually used for  products which will be painted over.

People see MDF as fake; it doesn't convey  the same feeling that wood can through  its grain structure. real wood  tells its life story through its  year rings and texture.  

I wanted to give the MDF more value  by letting it "grow" and giving  it a more organic structure. By valuing a natural resource, more we can prevent  washed.
