ORIGA’

ORIGA’, bench

TArt, 2009 

This iron made bench is strongly inspired by the art of Origami: the foldings Impressed in a raw steel plate give volume and stiffness to a simple sheet and generate a faceted rigid and dynamic box on which people can seat. 

The bench is conceived as a virtually endless sequence of specular 2mt long modules (these photographs show only two, assembled together) made out of a 1mm thin wax finished natural steel sheet. A second option, entirely made out of Corian© thin slabs is also provided. An ideal sculptural seat for outdoor environments and indoor wide spaces, as like museums, churches and hotels halls.
