Composite wooden board The andes house is product and interior design studio based in chile. their overall proposal focuses on the experimentation of materials, with the aim of producing applications that respond to their own nature. the ‘ensamble’ project is the result of arauco‘s request to analyze their cholguan boards (composite wooden board) in order to develop new applications for contemporary environments, thus meeting the needs of their costumers. Their first task involved observing and testing the raw materials and the manufacturing processes. they were surprised by the ‘wet step’ involved in the creation of cholguan, where a liquid mixture ends up as a dry product. this procedure made them aware that the liquid condition is associated with the flexibility of the panels and therefore, its use in curved forms revealed a unique feature that would be explored and highlighted. additionally, based on the format of the boards and their capacity to be curved, they searched for an application that could embody this attribute by creating wrapping elements for products that could be used to divide and organize spaces in a harmonious environment, adjusting to different needs and styles.
