Cody Ramseyer – 1/2 Round
by Cody Ramseyer
1/2 Round is a material-led exploration developed from a single off-the-shelf timber profile: a half-round wooden bar measuring 8 cm in diameter and 5 m in length. Through a process of cutting, joining, balancing, and repetition, this common construction material becomes a series of objects that exist between tool, furniture, and sculpture. Inspired by the straightforward logic of farm and workshop structures, the project investigates how a single element can generate a diverse body of forms while maintaining a coherent visual language. Rather than prescribing a specific use, the objects suggest actions such as supporting, containing, carrying, and separating.
