The Screenplay Bench by Oyler Wu Collaborative installation dares to push the boundaries of human perception. Resembling a built optical illusion, this dramatic sculptural piece unites space and furniture.
Made of 13,700 meters of woven rope, this architectural art installation features a series of geometric elements first realized in the structure's complex 3D plans and orthographic views. Oyler Wu Collaborative's Jenny Wu and her team explored a variety of materials and building techniques in their intricately woven seat design.
Featured in Los Angeles' Dwell on Design 2012 festival, the Screenplay Bench by Oyler Wu Collaborative installation features a structural element that transforms itself into a furniture piece and a useable seat that sprouts into a built environment.
