My project is based on curiosity and a wish to explore the meeting between form and function, and has resulted in a sculptural clothes rack for a public environment such as an office, a restaurant or a foyer.

Clothes racks have a distinct purpose, and I saw an opportunity to experiment with form on a large scale. The project landed naturally in an entrance hall, a space that is often overlooked. By working with height and angles, Line-up invites a dynamic interaction between form, user and room.

Line-up is made up of three parts: the components are integrated with each other in such a way that it makes the piece easier to lift and move around. The hangers, shelf and umbrella stand have a common expression that contrasts with the scaffolding’s steel pipes. A large part of the project has been about finding a balance, in how material, colour and shape relate to each other.

I have used different metal industry manufacturing methods to produce the various components. I wanted to learn more about how the industry works, and decided early on in the process to work with bent steel, and I have wanted to find an organic flow in the hard material.
