Hydroformed Bowl and Lamp
|
This pair of products are created from two halves of an inflated metal piece, formed by injection of pressurized water into a sealed envelope of sheet steel. The design developed from experiments with Hydroforming a rounded hexagon shape, first used to create the Pagoda Vase.
After inflation, the piece is split back into two equal halves, and the inflation hole is enlarged to fit a standard lamp holder. They are painted then buffed with graphite powder, creating an attractive and reflective finish that protects the steel from corrosion. |
