The tension collection is an ongoing exploration of flexibility and tension in sheet metal. By bending each sheet to create tension and locking it in place with horizontal shelves, a SOLID connection between the different parts is achieved. No screws, glue, or welds are used—only the sheet’s natural tendency to return to its original shape The collection spans shelves, side tables, bowls, and benches, among others, each shaped by the tension and form of the material.
