The mechanics of seating
Simple, unadorned strips of tempered steel fixed together using wing bolts exploit the elasticity and malleability of metal to create a resilient and flexible stool. The strips are positioned so as to gradually discharge tension and become both the structure and the identifying feature of the object. 3 Nuns, together with the Glider sofa and Z-shelf, is part of Americana, a heterogeneous collection, which, through the use of steel, celebrates conceptual pieces as an expression of the practice of design, while rejecting established conventions and labelling.
