Myeonga Seo and Marie Kolářová reimagine sheet metal with ornamental folds, blending craft, digital tools, and industrial methods.
Ornamental Metal
This project introduces a new method of crafting sheet metal that transforms its character from industrial hardness into soft, decorative surfaces. Instead of relying on large bending machines that limit form, the designers explore folding through precise cuts along the surface. These cuts not only allow metal to bend more freely but also turn into ornamental features when folded, giving objects a refined and unexpected edge.
