Strengths

Precision sheet metal expressing rounded, river-like forms and textures that bring a soft yet dignified presence to the space. For the 1,300 mm long, 50 mm wide (R25) stand pole, a welded build could not convey the concept, so it was completed by artisan one-piece bending. We named this original technique "SUPERSET BENDING."Origin of the name: The scale of "encompassing everything." Just as the superset symbol (⊃) embraces smaller elements, this method forms the 1,300 mm length and R25 dynamic curve in a single process without splitting or welding. The symbol (⊃) also represents a superset, expressing a bending technique worthy of a strict superset of craftsmanship and design.
