joints
the strength and flexibility of a wooden piece of furniture, be it a chair, a table or a wardrobe is determined by several factors, primarily by the quality of wood used, but also by the type of assembly that was used.
without adequate joints, the wood, which is affected by variations in temperature and humidity of the environment in which it is placed, varies in dimensions often even a few centimeters and this, together with stresses to which it is subjected, if the artifact is not adequately supported with joints, will have, as inevitable consequences, detachments, excessive movements, poor sealing and breakages.

for the project, folded in a moleskine's japanese album (9x14cm), six wooden furnitures belonging to great masters of design has been chosen, and for each one it was identified a joint technique that has been applied.
