A.P.B | Aluminium Profile Bending

Aluminium profile is a popular material for the construction of the everyday objects that we barely notice. The extruded shapes are optimized to have the highest possible strength with the lowest possible amount of material. According to these good properties Taehun Ko experimented with this raw but highly standardized material in order to create a seat for domestic use. The bending process breaks free from the conventional limitations of the profile system whilst eliminating the weakness inherent to the standard joints. The continuous slots allow each component to be assembled after bending with simple tools. This positive opportunity of material use can be adopted into any objects that require the structure and strength like bent tube. Also, thanks to the slot, ‘Ripstop nylon’ fabric attaches into the designed profile with rigid polypropylene sticks in order to create a sitting space.
