Lest it seem unambitious to "creative unconventional and timeless objects" these days, Shiny Hammer actually delivers with a series of distinctive articles of furniture. In keeping with designer Samuel Aguiar's interest in balancing "use and art," he approaches design "as a couturier or an architect would do, [such that] each creation becomes a representation of a lifestyle, an environment or a culture." The projects date back to 2010 in terms of original ideation, but they've been realized over the past year and a half and have only recently come to fruition.
The Plee chair features a single bent aluminum form atop vaguely Eiffel chair-like legs.
This chair is the result of a manufacturing process developed by Shiny Hammer called C.I.M. which is aimed at using a bending process which is rough yet sophisticated. The end result is unpredictable, although controlled. As a result, each chair is unique.
