*Cuts & Bends* (2024) exemplifies Rutger de Regt’s innovative ability to transform everyday materials into bold design statements. Crafted from polystyrofoam with a polyurethane coating, the table reimagines a lightweight, disposable material into a durable and sculptural piece. Its dynamic geometry, featuring deliberate cuts and bends, conveys a sense of fluidity and energy. Inspired by the playful experimentation of the Memphis Group and the conceptual ethos of designers like Maarten Baas, *Cuts & Bends* challenges traditional notions of beauty and functionality. By repurposing an overlooked medium into a thought-provoking object, De Regt celebrates adaptability and reinvention, turning the ordinary into the extraordinary through transformative design.
