Water Chair

This chair is the result of my exploration into how a single 1 mm thick, one-square-meter sheet of metal could be transformed into a functional and sculptural object. I set out to push the boundaries of a seemingly simple material, experimenting with form, structure, and surface without relying on complex processes.

My aim was to see how a flat, flexible, and structurally unstable sheet could become an organic, steady form. To achieve this, I developed a technique of manually hammering the sheet into a cylindrical shape, creating a continuous wave pattern. By working the metal from both sides, I was able to bend it in multiple directions, which gave the structure rigidity and stability.

This process requires no heat, allowing the material to retain its inherent strength. To emphasize the contrast between the manipulated texture and the original smooth surface, part of the sheet has been left untouched.
