Dezeen Platform: graduate designer Jólan van der Wiel creates a series of stools shaped by magnets live at Dezeen Platform at Dezeen Space today.
Each stool takes about 20 minutes to produce, using van der Wiel's machine that shapes the material according to the postion of magnets and the force of gravity.
Each one can be unique, dependending on where he places the magnets.
Van der Wiel graduated from the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam this summer.
Each day, for 30 days, a different designer will use a one metre by one metre space to exhibit their work at Dezeen Space.

Beauty by nature, lovely and poetic. I just hope it is a healthy way of building something

La beauté sera convulsive ou ne sera pas. andre breton
Fantastic, just when you think its all been done…
Which material is it ?
very cool, is it resin + iron filings or something?
The material consist out of Iron filings mixed with different components plastic. The production proces is quit healthy because you don't need any electric power and nature creates the shape. Jólan
Ah plastics, that explains a lot.
Which industrial magnets (like they use for dead cars) you can make tables :)
