"Extrusion" bench
A sinuous bench by Thomas Heatherwick, "Extrusion" transforms the industrial process of pushing aluminum through a die into a sculptural seating experience. The work celebrates the hypnotic, ribbon-like profiles that emerge from the extrusion process, freezing a moment of industrial motion into a functional object. Its undulating, parallel channels invite both touch and use, blurring the boundary between manufacturing technique and organic form.
