Rough Construction Chair by Kassen
August 15, 2009 | Levent OZLER
Rough Construction Chair started off as a kind of exploration that turned into a pretty nice little chair and stool.
Like most things in the lumber yard, steel framing studs have a inconspicuous life.
They are cold formed at a plant, banded and shipped to a supplier.
From there to the job-site, where they are cut, installed and covered over.
Here they will stand for life of the wall quietly doing their jobs until they are unceremoniously cut away to the recycling heap.
Kassen wanted to show of the utility and perhaps the hidden beauty of the material.
Like the studs themselves, these chairs are designed to emphasize the real utility of its application: To hold you up well.
The design, however, employs ergonomic principles in concert with the qualities of galvanized steel.
Finally, they're spot-welded and braced for strength.
The chairs are hand-fabricated to give a rough construction feel and finished in bare galvanized steel or painted a utilitarian grey.
