Komeetkruk
Stool with triangles and a translucent seat
Three points make up a plane so it can’t get all wiggly. A tripod. Just like the tail of a comet. Legs like stilts. And if you let those legs fan and spread out to a hexagon, then you've got a surface to sit on. Or to place that houseplant on for a while.
Around the rebars on top, a membrane of reinforced polyester is stretched. Not too thick and moreover you can vaguely look through. But it’s strong and firm enough for you. Or your houseplant.






The polyester is manually -without formwork- installed around the frame of reinforcing steel. The polyester emphasizes the knots where many rods come together. The skin almost seems organic, an animal skin, with bumps and dents and shiny imperfections.
