PROJECT 03STEEL PECKER

- VIENNA





The design idea behind the Pecker was to construct a portable paravent made of steel fragments and fabric.
Its core structure consists of two lacquered steel C-profiles, connected by three hinges made from old stage-set hinges. Together, they form a U-profile in which the entire structure, including the room-dividing fabric, can be stored.

Once the U-profile is opened via the hinge, its two iron claws can be unfolded using a pin connection.

In the final step, the soft wings — supported by bones made of long metal rods — are stretched using two tendons of thin wire
