        RESORTE - 2019 - LOVISUAL Festival

Stainless Steel
90 x 200 x 90 cm


For the Lovisual festival in Logroño Spain, I was briefed to intervene the 'Tobiana' butcher shop through an addition to its exterior space attached to the premises. The design of a new bench pays homage to the industry and materiality of the food industry, stainless steel. Through this material, a curved tube spring comes to life, resembling a spiral ‘chorizo’. The intervention is designed so that the public can use it as a bench and maybe even as a bicycle rack. This double functionality aims to  entice a sense of doubt in the viewer.
