dear designboom reader,
designs these days demonstrate how versatile steel is as a material. it can be knotted into street sculptures like alex chinneck's public art for assembly bristol, or forged into a watch, as anicorn does with its NASA mission-inspired model.
steel is also an ideal material for a demountable shelter, as seen with rick owens and moncler's movable ‘refuge.’ it often has a reflective surface, which SpY highlights in their orb installation that mirrors the surroundings of urban montréal.
thanks for reading!
