MARTIN RINDERKNECHT

HELMRINDERKNECHT presents Berlin design-duo osko+deichmann's family of tubular steel furniture with kinks.  The tubing used in the furniture is not bent  – as is normally the case – but rather functionally folded, dented and kinked. The chairs, tables and other furniture derive their final form and function by means of this intentional process of “damaging” the tubular steel: the process' traces, which would normally be regarded as defects, are in fact integral to the furniture's design.
