This project is a bench made entirely from on e sheet of flat aluminium which is folded and fixed to its final position. Using curved folds I tried to achieve an optimal relationship between strength, material constraints, folding limits and aesthetics.
The form of the bench allows face to face seating.
Testing the strength of the bench proved it was stronger than expected.
