Combining simplicity and functionality with a lightweight material like steel, Nendo has come up with the Softer than Steel Collection for Desalto.
Designed by Nendo for Desalto, the Softer than Steel Collection is made up of low tables, benches, wall containers, a chair and a coat stand.
In the words of the designer: “A section of a bench has flipped up and turned into the backrest. Poles wrap around each other to become a coat stand. By adding flipped, bent and wrapped details to metal shhets and rods, the ordinarily hard metal gains new functionality and a light, flexible feel, as thug the metal has become paper or cloth”.
