About the Item
A steel plate is treated by hand in a rotating movement with Tannic Acid from Oak. Different shades of blue become visible on the steel by the intensity of tannic acid.
Tannic Acid Plates is part of the project Tannic Acid. The project reveals the exceptional similarity in colour of oak and steel after the natural transition. The reaction between tannic acid and red iron oxide turns the materials into dark blue.
These plates are hand made with a natural reaction, therefore each plate is unique.

Steven Banken
Steven Banken is a dutch designer located in Eindhoven, The Netherlands. Banken uses the material origin and properties as inspiration for his designs. He mainly works with wood, often combined with other materials such as steel, copper or reed. He graduated Cum Laude in 2010 at Design Academy Eindhoven. His workshop with in-house production is a place where research, design and crafts meet. His approach results in a clear design with an eye for innovation, construction and finishing. The designs are sometimes a merge of applied and fine arts and made by hand. As an example of his projects, Steven Banken has been working on a Tannic Acid research project for several years, resulting in various products. “Never use steel nails in oak,” was the advice of Banken’s grandfather. He was a carpenter and blacksmith and forms the base of this project. Oak contains high concentrations of Tannic Acid, which turns dark blue when it’s exposed to steel. The project reveals the exceptional similarity in color of two radically different materials after the natural transition.

He was a carpenter and blacksmith and forms the basis of this project. Oak contains high concentrations of tannic acid, which turns dark blue when it’s exposed to steel. The same happens with steel, as a result of a chemical reaction between red iron oxide and tannic acid. To accelerate this normally undesirable process the elements that cause this natural transition are applied in liquid form on the other material. Oak drawers are treated with red iron oxide, the rust of steel. Different shades of blue become visible by the intensity of rust. The ratio of drawers is based on the “plastic number” of Hans Dom van der Laan...Category
