Forging is a furniture set for offices and study rooms, consisting of a work desk and a matching chair. The main material is elm wood, and bent iron plates form the supporting structure. The iron plates are folded and fixed under the desk and the chair, where the wood is shaped to fit matching grooves. Triangular geometry gives the frame strength and toughness. The chair back and seat are made of elm wood and follow the shape of the body. The desk height is based on human body measurements. Straight lines and bends create an industrial style.
