The Tuffet emphasizes the interplay of light and shadow on its metallic surface, reminiscent of Serra's large-scale installations. Its bold geometric shape challenges conventional furniture design, making it not only a functional seating solution but also an artistic statement that blurs the line between sculpture and utility.

Based on Richard Serra inspiration, created a tuffet a piece of furniture used as a footstool, small coffee table or low stool. I explored how a furniture might relate intimately to a specific setting; how it might take up a physical as well as visual relationship to a viewer; and how it might create spaces.
