Material features:
The chair was made from construction site formwork that was recycled, and then coated with natural German varnish.
Steam was used to bend the discarded formwork from construction sites into rounded pieces of wood that formed the structure of the chair. The rusted nail holes can still be seen on the surface of the chair from where the iron nails were removed.
The chair is made of three rounded pieces of wood bent by using steam; the wood is used for the back, the seat and the legs, which provides a comfortable and appropriate curvature for the user.
The rust-dyed chair covers were made by artists who used construction site waste as tools; after the surface of the waste materials rusted, the rust was rubbed onto the fabric to create a rustic pattern.

Discarded formwork was bent and shaped using steam.

The cotton seat cushions were rust-dyed using construction site waste.
