This utilitarian sculpture stands as a graphic and almost educational testament to its own fabrication. Beginning as an unaltered copper sheet at the center, it undergoes three successive deformation stages, culminating in the forms of a seat and legs. Each phase vividly narrates the transformation process, transforming flat sheets into functional objects through deliberate gestures.
Guided by hammering, the design explores a precise symmetry rooted in action rather than decoration. The form results solely from the gestures that evoke function; the malleable qualities of copper allow it to deform and expand through strikes and heat, emphasizing the material’s capacity for transformation. The work celebrates the purity of process, with no embellishments - only essential forms born out of the physical act of shaping.
For designers, this piece exemplifies how materiality, technique, and function can intertwine to produce an honest object that tells the story of its own making - an inspiring reminder of the beauty inherent in craftsmanship and minimal intervention.
