explores a dialogue between metal and bamboo. The project investigates how metal can adopt characteristics typically associated with bamboo, particularly its traditional construction method using rope bindings. By transferring this connection technique to metal, a contrast and exchange between the two materials emerges.
The intention was to apply an existing joining method that was not originally designed for metal.
Rope, commonly used in bamboo structures, becomes the central connecting element.
A plug in system of the metal rods ensures the fundamental stability of the frame, while the rope reinforces the structure. In the lower section of the table, the plug in system is removed and the construction relies solely on rope connections.
The work functions as an experiment that challenges the structural and expressive qualities of metal, questioning its conventional rigidity and expanding its material possibilities.
The system can be expanded into a range of additional products. A few examples are shown here.
