Developed as part of a collective group for Virginia Tech’s College of Architecture and Urban Studies, the “ZIG” by designer Catherine Worsham is a functional furniture unit that can be employed as edge fencing and a bike rack, apart from being used as a bench. Exhibited at the International Contemporary Furniture Fair in Milan, Italy as well as the Cologne Furniture Fair and ICFF in New York, the ZIG is a tessellating pattern cut out of steel with laser cutting technology. Finished with 10 gauge steel, the multifunctional unit features four 90 degree bends form a piece that accentuates the contrast of positive and negative space. Though, the ZIG comes in a 16″ H, 48″ L, 23″ W dimension but it could be produced at any desired length.
