Bent
The Bent collection features a series of playful benches with bold, tactile textures. Drawing inspiration from knitting techniques, this project approaches plastic waste as a continuous thread,folding, twisting, and looping to forge a surface that mimics the tactile nature of textiles and beckons to be touched. The benches' sculpted texture comprises thick, knot-like forms that appear soft yet provide a sturdy, load-bearing surface suitable for both outdoor and indoor use. The design incorporates “knitted patterns” that not only enhance functionality by allowing water drainage but also add aesthetic value. These patterns showcase a new realm of digitally crafted materiality.
