BRUTALIST COAT HOOK
waterjet cut / concrete study
Part of a class about materials and manufacturing techniques, the task was to build a coat hook.
Build a coat hook - Brief:
choose one material and manufacturing technique
wall to hook end – 120 mm or more
fixed by two screws spaced by 80 mm
choose one material and manufacturing technique

inspiration - translating architecture / moodboard
Socialist brutalism was the stylistic cornerstone for this project. It‘s remarkable sense of balance between curves, lines and sharp angles creates a certain aerial quality – and a stark contrast to the material and size. Beside the appearance, especially bridges offer clues in terms of structural stability
planning / manufacturing - concept to concrete
Preparation required CAD-files and making a concrete board, since the desired thickness (24mm) wasn‘t available. While questionable in practicality and efficency, it was definitively one of the most valuable experiences at universtiy, working not only with materials unknown to us but also learning to communicate with manufacuters.
