With the help of hydraulic pistons, Plier can be used as a screen or as a bar table. The structure supports well the surfaces of the furniture in both situations; to reduce weight still retaining its strength, Hwang used thin surfaces with lattice structures with harmonized shapes. The panels feature perforated aluminium sheets, while the overall dimensions are designed to host six to eight people around the table.
