Seven sculptural pieces reveal a harmony of mechanical precision and artisanal craftsmanship<\/h3>\r\n

T<\/span>he \"PFS \u2013 Press Furniture Series\"<\/a> by product designer Masaya Kawamoto explores a rarely celebrated industrial technique: the aesthetic compression of cylindrical steel pipes. By deforming these round forms, Kawamoto creates an expressive design language where structure, function, and visual artistry converge.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n

The minimalist and linear framework of each piece emphasizes the compressed elements as distinctive sculptural accents. The coloring is achieved through a process known as salt bath coloring, which forms a natural oxide layer on stainless steel. This results in intricate, organic patterns\u2014without using paint or pigment\u2014hand-finished by skilled artisans from MEINETSU Co., Ltd. The two hues, \"Oboro\" and \"Kasumi,\" vary based on factors such as steel type, material thickness, and cooling speed, producing one-of-a-kind results.<\/p>\r\n\n\t\t
