pipedreams

I experimented with a variety of techniques during the design process for the pressing and bending of the pipe itself, ranging from gradually rolling it flat, to pressing with a hydraulic press, and hammering creases out. I had hoped to use zinc passivation as a surface finish, to lean into the feeling of industrial tooling given by the chairs, but ultimately polishing gave a desirable finish giving value to the otherwise tarnished galvanised steel.
