“Experiments with lightweight structures inspired by early 3-D wire-frame computer programs and bridge engineering to produce Pylon Series.”
“The making and remaking of the Pylon Chair countless times, to try and reinforce weak points and prevent collapse, taught me how to make things properly. It felt like a crash course in primitive structural engineering […]. The results made me believe more in the underlying structures of an object, rather than their surfaces, and leaves me in awe of the skills of the structural engineer.”
