In Hale Wallpiece is a work that reflects light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBased on the Ex Hale table, the Wallpiece shares the cushion shape resulting from the ingenious technique that Ben Storms first developed for his In Vein and In Hale tables. Milled from a single block of natural stone, the Ex Hale Wallpiece plays with our common notions of materiality: the hard stone looks soft instead, an impression that is further enhanced by the delicate surface treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade of inflated stainless steel, brass or copper—a technique of which the results are always unpredictable— the In Hale Wallpiece takes the shape of a cushion. Storms inflates sheet metal against a piece of stone, and thereby transforms it into a three-dimensional shape which echoes the shape of the stone. This process not only changes the look but also the structural properties of the metal. He first explored this idea for the In Hale table, where the cushion supports a massive block of marble. Here, the cushion is left by itself and placed against the wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVariations can be custom made.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ben Storms","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":61193923494222,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/6928\/9981\/files\/M9A6930.jpg?v=1791886332","url":"https:\/\/objectswithnarratives.com\/products\/in-and-ex-hale-wallpiece-copper-mexican-red-fantastico","provider":"Objects With Narratives","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
