Tension - 2025

Tension is a sculptural side table born from an exploration of force and structure. Designed as an experiment in tension and compression, it relies on straps to bind and compress its elements across three axes, transforming pressure into stability.

Crafted from found materials (cardboard tubes and extruded aluminum), its structure is held together by 3D-printed parts, guiding the straps and reinforcing the assembly. Completely dismantlable at the end of its life, it embodies a circular approach to design.

A statement on material reuse and structural ingenuity, tension redefines the boundaries between design and experiment.
