“The making and remaking of the Pylon Chair countless times, to try and reinforce weak points and prevent collapse, taught me how to make things properly. It felt like a crash course in primitive structural engineering." | Tagged

Experiments with lightweight structures inspired by early 3-D wire-frame computer programs and bridge engineering to produce Pylon Series.

It felt like a crash course in primitive structural engineering […]. The results made me believe more in the underlying structures of an object, rather than their surfaces, and leaves me in awe of the skills of the structural engineer.”
