THE CONSTRUCTION (2021)
Functional artwork series
The funiture series Construction is a "microscopic observation of architecture" It is an object and furniture series made with inspiration from the technology and structure of the construction process from the perspective of "construction" rather than a completed building.
This project considers the relationship between furniture and architecture, both starting with a structure that can distribute some load, and the only difference is the amount of load. The aesthetic details of furniture are created by reducing typical architectural processes such as combination, crossing, architecture, and connection.

" (the furniture) Reminds us of the site of the construction process. a large steel beam rises at the construction site where soil dust blows, and the image of construction engineers carrying something comes to mind. these structures and elements in the construction site are very familiar to us, natural, and we face them several times a day, but we pass by them. "
The final collection comprises four pieces: the beam stool, the scaffolding bench, the polycarbonate chair and the polycarbonate shelf. the stool utilizes the basic structure of a building in which two steel I beams support the weight of one person. the bench stool is made of steel beams with scaffolding, made of pipes and safety nets, wrapped around. finally, the chair and shelf are composed of double-layered polycarbonate plates with aluminum finishing on the joints connected by simple screws.
