The “wrench” collection by Iyo Hasegawa is made of offset wrenches, long screws, washers, and hexagonal nuts.
Offset wrenches are tools used solely for tightening hexagonal nuts and are never used for any other purpose. However, this proposal introduces a unique piece of furniture—an art piece that can be transformed at will, giving the offset wrenches a new function and character.
The word “wrench” in the title not only refers to the material used to make this work but also to the verbs “to twist,” “to writhe,” or “to turn.”
The main material used in the work, the offset wrenches, is not glued or welded and is not fixed in place, allowing the wrench to “twist” freely. This flexibility enables the wrenches to be transformed into any shape. Additionally, they can be folded into a flat form for convenient storage and transportation.
Finally, all the materials can be removed and returned to their original state for their intended use.
The artist believes that the offset wrenches have a beautiful shape, when incorporated into a piece of furniture or an object, and that this work, “wrench,” will give a different and new function.
