The Pressure Vases are made from standard steel tubes, which when exposed to extreme pressure start to yield. The folds that appear make the normally hard and cold material look soft and tangible. Usually this deformation is considered to be a defect by the industry. Since the folds clamp in the bottom of the pressure vase, de deformation became a functional detail.
The stainless steel floor vases are made form scrapyard sourced material, as part of a new upcoming“scrapyard”series. A series with all objects made from materials sourced from local scrapyards. Since the pandemic the prices and availability of steel and aluminum has been extremely effected. Therefore we are shifting our focus on using locally sourced scrap material.
