Green Tension Side Table by Paul Coenen

Green Tension side table, Paul Coenen Dimensions: 50 x 45 x 50 cm Materials: Material powder coated steel Colour: Traffic green RAL 6024 Tension Collection The manufacturing industry is using standard sized material, and every machine used works according to these sizes. Instead of seeing this as a limitation, it became an investigation for new possibilities. Sheet metal is often folded to rule out it’s flexible properties and to create stiffness in the material. This flexibility can also be used in our advantage. By combining this feature together with high precision manufacturing, a form language evolved: the flexibility of metal is used to lock pieces together due to the sheet’s force of bending back to its original shape. Paul Coenen employs a intuitive and hands-on approach, where he explores his fascination for materials and both modern and traditional manufacturing techniques. His work is straightforward; the appearance of the objects are a consequence of material and technique. He graduated from the Design Academy Eindhoven in 2019.
