Steel U
Steel U, a design that was based on the past, created in the present and is made with the intension to inspire the future. This resulted in a combination of an reused steel tabletop that is supported by concrete legs which were destroyed by physical emotions. This way the design becomes literally a part of the person who the destroys concrete. The combination gave physical and mental challenges during the process, but eventually resulted in a design that gave fulfillment.

Steel U Bar Table won the Iron A' Design Award in Fine Arts and Art Installation Design in 2022.
