This stool is part of a collection that emerged from the self-developed production method Hammered Scapes. It is made of one piece of laser-cut sheet metal. By moving a compressed air hammering gun linearly over the sheet metal, folds can be created that enables a stable and very lightweight seating object.

Hammered Scapes

A new production method emerges from a traditional craft and defines the process between user and machine as a performance.

The Hammered Scapes is a new interpretation of the hammering craft. The impact of a compressed-air nailgun causes individual punches on the sheet metal. The workbench and CNC- milled stencils, which were designed for hammering, help form reproducible shapes and control the movement of the sheet metal during the process. The workbench represents the center of the happening.

The artist itself handles the nailgun, and the whole setting allows an intuitive, painterly approach which leads to a production happening of a performance. 3-dimensional bodies with high rigidity and stability can be created due to this production method made of just a thin metal sheet. Different surfaces and nearly „landscapes“ can be formed by using various hammer attachments for the nailgun. Every object is a unique piece created through a process performance between user and machine. Each of them manifests the aesthetic and the functional range of this technique.

Important Disclaimer: The projects we present are often experimental and challenging conventional making processes. For this reason, they may slightly differ from their representation in the online pictures. Products might present minor deviations in shape, texture, and colors. We invite you to celebrate their beauty and uniqueness.
