FE-30 - Study for a 30in Steel Stool 2018

Furniture
A very short project, spans for about 2 weeks
Began with some quick sketch models


Cold-rolled steel rods (hence the name FE) bent to make desired shape based on a technical drawing
A touch-and-feel process


Bent rods now welded together (Mostly butt joints)
Making a 30" frame (hence the FE-30)


Tabs welded on
Bottom tray bent with Finger Break
Sprayed with desired color


Conveys an industrial, disciplined feel
Hard-edges, angularity, the coldness of it
