“This is a failed attempt to make the lightest chair in the world! Initially made from 1mm rod. It succeeded…but then collapsed under the first heavyweight customer. Now in 24mm it is remarkably strong but unfortunately not a prizewinner. But in the process I learned a whole lot about and my welding improved massively.”
