Wood is translating into the aluminum sheet instead of sweeping large cord we use Pop rivets. Construction and production of a very pragmatic way is selected and a project that is very easy to produce and use. The bench has created in a wide range of colors, but color is best used for decorating a house is white. These seats can be put on living room and family room because it has a sense of comfort when sitting, laying the way the bench can be added with a flower pot that adds a natural feel in our homes.
Description from TAF:
The bench TAF have been working on is a combination between two traditional handicrafts. We used the visual expression from the antique Swedish Bentwood boxes for keeping butter (Sw; Svepask). They were traditionally made of layers of wood bent around an oval shaped bottom held in place with birchwood lacing. The wood is translated into swept aluminum sheets and instead of laces we used big Pop Rivets. The construction and the production method is very pragmatically chosen and makes the project very easy to produce and use.
Pop Rivet is 3 pieces of aluminum sheets (front, back and the back rest) that are swept around the oval shaped aluminum seat. It is then drilled and put together with Pop rivets which is a very well-known and simple technique for put materials together. We think the technique is under estimated since it is really smart, functional and also brings a pattern to the product.

This exclusively designed chair by Hanne Kortegaard is suitable for all ages and is indeed intended not only for young people but also children and adults as well. The Danish designer has tried to visualize the symbiosis that can occur between child and adult in a cozy environment. She transfers the concept and form of the mussel, into a form where she has let herself to be inspired by the mussela??s idiom. Because, for Hanne Kortegaard, the mussel symbolizes and expresses the symbiosis and dependence of two objects: the shell and the mussel.
