ward wijnant twists steel bars to create unique furniture collection

dutch designer ward wijnant challenges the supremacy of steel by twisting iron bars into unique pieces of furniture. titled ‘twisted’, the collection comprises seven black-colored objects made of metal sheets supported by curves bent by hand.

‘extraordinary human strength and formidable force are combined in the manufacturing process,’ explains wijnant. the interplay results in bends and curves that cannot be reproduced — every piece is unique. to combine the different elements of an object, separate bars of steel are twisted around each other, thus the steel makes a new connection with itself and therefore creates a new unit.
