con certificato. Esemplare one-off per "The work on the strip exhibition". The "strip" objects were created to maintain the free quality of sketches. "The work on the strip exhibition" says Leibovich, "gave me the freedom to work from a more place. I started my work from a sketch, from a quote or from the material itself and let things come out in their spontaneous nature." Another contrast that inspires Leibovich is the difference between the perfection promised by technology and the imperfect perfection that are inherent in nature. His most successful exploration of these contrasts can be found in his "strip works". Made from a group of plywood strips connected at various points that are chosen by the designer, each piece of f rniurniture is unique. Leibovich selects where the points will be, and controls the tension and pressure that is applied to the wood strips, but ultimately the appearance of each object depends on the individual properties of the pieces used to built it and on the pliance or rigidity that the wood demonstrates when it is free in the interstices between the loci.
