Cursive script was designed to write quickly by hand. A single complex stroke becomes a connected sequence of words. The speed of the technique allows one to write without lifting the pen. Pretzel Table uses leather, an already luxurious material, and juxtaposes it with the spontaneous lines of cursive script. A tension is created through the pairing of a traditionally crafted material with a process designed for efficiency, revealing an aesthetic based on a new way of making. The resulting form speaks to directly to the process of its production.
