{"product_id":"obj-02-bench-manuel-bano","title":"OBJ-02 Bench","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe OBJ collection is based on simple gestures applied to materials in their commercial format. Through manipulations such as cuts and folds, raw materials are transformed into objects. Without the use of references and preliminary research stages during the creative process, Manuel's approach to design is intuitive. He enjoys drawing simple lines and sketching ideas in multiple notebooks, and over time, some of these sketches are turned into physical objects. Despite the OBJ series seeking an ambitious aesthetic and prioritizing beauty over function, these objects ultimately find their place at home, aiming to fulfill a specific function.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eA 240 cm bench crafted from the repetition of steel or brass tubes, where each tube is split in half and independently bent to form the seat and legs. The piece proudly retains all the inherent defects of its manufacturing and handling. Additionally, to achieve the correct bending of the tube halves, heat is applied, resulting in the darker visible parts of the bench.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eOBJ-02, developed from standard tubes, is produced in Valle de Chalco, Estado de México, through specialized metalworking processes. The production begins with commercially available brass, steel, and stainless steel tubes, used without altering their original format. These are cut, heated, and bent individually, allowing the material to take shape through controlled manual intervention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe repetition of these elements forms continuous structures in which each cut and curvature is integrated into the object. The material is kept largely as found, and each step remains legible in the final piece, embedding the process as an intrinsic part of the work.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Manuel Bano","offers":[{"title":"Brass \/ Mexico","offer_id":54920040448334,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/6928\/9981\/files\/05_HighRGB_ManuBano_BancaOBJ.jpg?v=1759484327","url":"https:\/\/objectswithnarratives.com\/products\/obj-02-bench-manuel-bano","provider":"Objects With Narratives","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
