candy exploits the potential of steel reinforcement bars for concrete structures. using
a simple industrial coating process normally used in the marine industry, the unattractive
steel bars are given a new identity. a high gloss polyester coating, applied to the textured
bars gives off a multitude of highly bright reflections.

and a variety of folded sheet metal components. the powder coated components
include a bookshelf, a tray shelf, a deep box and a shallow box which drop into
