Design Concepts | Interlocking, angular, tense, cold and colliding sections of rusted forged steel and rolled aluminum, held in place by mechanical means, supporting massive planes of glass while penetrating a milled curvilinear mass of wood, dramatize an unexpected chaos as traditional confines break down.
Function, redefined and rebuilt: from industrial era steel to evocative materials of the 21st century.
