Spun Bench

‘Bengtsson is now experimenting with a carbon-fibre spinning process originally used by NASA in the production of rocket fuel tanks and nozzles. This process enables him not only to create chairs and chaises longues in the complex curves of computer graphics, but to achieve, as he puts it, “maximum strength from minimum material” as only a fifth of the surface consists of carbon-fibre.’
Alice Rawthorn, former director, Design Museum, London.
