Water Chair


 This chair began as an exploration into how a single 1 mm thick, one-square-meter sheet of metal could be transformed into a functional and sculptural object. The project focused on pushing the boundaries of a seemingly simple material, experimenting with form, structure, and surface without relying on complex processes.

My objective was to investigate how a flat, flexible, and structurally unstable metal sheet could be transformed into an organic, steady form. To achieve this, I developed a unique technique involving the manual hammering of the sheet into a cylindrical shape, creating a continuous wave pattern. By applying this technique from both sides, the metal becomes bent in multiple directions, resulting in a structure that is rigid and stable.

This process does not require the application of heat, thereby preserving the material’s inherent strength. To highlight the contrast between the manipulated texture and the original smooth surface, I deliberately left part of the sheet untouched.
