Lara Reisigl Domeneghetti presents From Birch to Walrus Tusk: Reconstructing the Tylldal Chair across Media and Territories. Through practice-based reconstruction and comparative material analysis, this presentation examines the Tylldal Chair as a birch “ivory” throne — linking Nidaros cathedral sculpture, walrus-tusk carving, and portable ecclesiastical furniture. The focus lies on tools, surfaces, and how craft knowledge traveled across media, workshops, and North Atlantic territories.
