Reader Submitted: Molding Plan: Modern Objects That Rework a Traditional Material 

Molding Plan is a project that makes use of moulding, the traditional architectural material. Molding, those ready-made strips of wood with unique curvatures, used to play an essential role in home decor in earlier eras of architecture and interior architecture. Through various manufacturing techniques, Moulding Plan rethinks this finishing material and brings out object-based possibilities for the original material. The outcome is a collection of containers, desktop organizers and lights.

The Molding Plan series utilizes the decorative features of moldings.

Three different kinds of moldings are used in the project in order to reveal the full potential of the material.

Original curvature of the molding offers a space for storage purposes while also allowing the containers to be stacked.

Made of molding pieces which are divided at 45 and 60 degree angles.

The container set is one design proposal for Taiwanese brand UTP (Un-Titled-Project).

Bases of the pendant lamps are made of grouped segments of the original molding and are processed by wood turning afterward.

The shapes are inspired by the traditional turned legs of tables and chairs.

This set of desktop organizers are made with oblique incisions so they can be piled up.
