UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The project started with a focus on a life where everyone can coexist, a sustainable environment and discarded materials. A form tied together like a ribbon was expressed, and the bench tied to cable ties and stain pipes by using waste wire ELP pipe that is no longer used can function as public furniture and serve as recycled furniture. It is useful in indoor and outdoor spaces where everyone gathers together, and has a shape that induces various postures.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT:
Through this work, tried to recognize the generational conflict that has become an issue as a social problem and to recognize the positive direction of generational integration. Induced a way for everyone to sit on a bench completed with a single string and connect and communicate. Furniture embodies the aesthetic sense of generational integration
CHALLENGE:
When bending and tying the pipe by hand, the pipe must not be wrinkled or deformed. It was necessary to make the pipes with a feeling of use clean so that they could function as furniture. The cable ties were fixed cleanly and completely so that the tied pipes would not come loose.

I am truly inspired by this award-winning work, "Knotted". This beautiful bench embodies the aesthetic sense of generational integration, while also providing an innovative solution to creating public furniture with discarded materials. The intricate knotting technique used to tie the pipes together is truly remarkable and allows the piece to evoke feelings of connection and togetherness. It is a wonderful example of how good design can create a sustainable environment and I am so delighted to see this work recognised with the prestigious A' Design Award.
