©R. Bourdeix, 2021, section CSI.
To illustrate this section, we can produce on request one or more high-definition posters (maximum size 180x100 cm).
This section is devoted to utilitarian
items made in whole or in part from coconut wood. Another section concerns three-dimensional
objects that represent the coconut tree or its nuts using other materials
such as stone, metal or wood.
Coconut wood can be used to make all kinds
of objects. Although the wood is quite heavy, it lends itself well to the
manufacture of drums or large hollow containers, due to the great hardness of
the wood in the external part of the trunk, and its relative softness in the
centre. The objects represented are sometimes quite bulky, like this furniture
or these drums made from the base of coconut tree trunks, or smaller, like
certain children's toys whose aesthetics are full of poetry. The diversity of
these objects is enough to make at least one poster that will amaze visitors.
These posters should be adapted to each
country, on a case-by-case basis, in order to prominently feature locally
produced coconut products, and to promote the marketing of these local
products. It is also possible to buy or rent objects from the personal
collection of Dr. R. Bourdeix.
