Context: playing with plastic is always challenging, as it is perceived as a cheap material, even though it is great for many things. The point here is to make something that will exhibit its beauty and qualities.
Project: the plan was to find a way to make rings that would work with the machines available. After many tests, from heat-bending sheets to handling melted plastic (hot hot hooot) I managed to shape it around a metal rod that I then turned to the right thicknes, shape and evel of finish (sanding all the way to 3000 grid).
Result: After taking the rings out of the rod the edges still need finishing before being ready, each one is unique and shows the way colors filled the mold.
Context: I had to work with Tyvek, and get anything out of it, using the material's characteristics
Project: using the material's elasticity, it provides the possibility to make your bookshelf look exactly like you want.
Result: it was exhibited in Paris for two weeks, where it was appreciated for its versatility and "northern look"
