Branches Bench
Inspired by tree branches and my previous art museum project.
The side supported by steel branches seems insufficient to bear a person’s weight, however, it is unexpectedly as strong as the other side supported by wood.
The tricky part of this project is the connection between wood and steel. They are friction fit. Holes on the wood are drilled according to the final direction of steel bars.
