Soft steel started from a research into the Expanded metal production process.

 

Expanded metal production process:

'Flat sheets of metal are perforated and pressed in a systemetic pattern to create a metal mesh. Super efficient in production and material use'.

​

By desinging an irregular pattern and controlling the cuttinglines a more intresing expended shape appears. This outdoor wall lamp started from a stainless steel disc. 

Using a harch LED spot, the expended structure gives a beautifull shadowplay across the facade.
