This pieces from the Cuts & Bends series (2024) showcases Rutger de Regt’s innovative approach to material exploration and his ability to redefine traditional design norms. Crafted from steel, the table transforms a solid industrial material into a robust yet sculptural piece. Its fluid, angular cuts and deliberate bends evoke movement frozen in time, creating a striking architectural silhouette. De Regt’s manipulation of steel recalls the experimental ethos of Richard Serra, while the table’s bold, tactile qualities resonate with the radical design language of the Memphis Group. Beyond its functionality, *Cuts & Bends* highlights sustainability by reimagining discarded materials, blending environmental awareness with artistic ingenuity. This table stands as both a functional object and a commentary on transformation and adaptability in contemporary design.
