MILAN 2012 - PIPE PARTY
Studio Hausen is celebrating the tube and invites to the presentation of two new products. Both, the GOLIATH cutlery and the UDO chair are made from pressed steel tube. In a simple pressing process clear shapes with a somewhat naive aesthetics were created and form the character of these products. Forge pressure forms the sharp bladed knife and the smooth shaped spoon of the GOLIATH cutlery but also the floating connections of the UDO chair. Besides this aesthetic benefit the pressing procedure offers manifold functional potential. All pieces of the stackable UDO chair can be fast and easily connected with the help of blind rivets. Therefore, no additional expensive tools or procedures like welding, sanding or polishing are needed. To emphasize the modular character of the UDO chair all four elements can be coloured in a customized colour range. In this project the use of the tube in design was squeezed and stretched and leads to two playful, charming products. For the PIPE PARTY preparation at the "Instant Story" exhibition the Studio Hausen is supported by the renowned set designer Sarah Illenberger.
