Contemporary with dynamite exploded 'Lose control' steel

About the Item

One-of-a-kind Sideboard. The object is made from a Metal Volume that has been spontaneously shaped by an explosion, and hand treated to reach a soft touch. Part of a series of three furniture pieces, Metal Volumes have been exploded at various energy levels in a sequence of crafted detonations. These elements have been treated to reach a completely unique aesthetic and feel. The process and the inherent uncertainty of the outcome is a defining element of the work. The production of the explosions takes place in the Portuguese countryside with a team of explosive ordnance experts, and has been recorded into a film directed by Frederico Velez. “We are not able to control anything but our attitude regarding life, and even that is at some point uncontrollable. Lose Control is a liberation of energy, a constructive loss of control”. Born in Romania in 1986, Mircea Anghel is a self-taught designer based in Portugal and the founder of Cabana Studio. From a young age, growing up in Bucharest, he displayed a particular interest in mathematics and always found pleasure in problem-solving. The son of a diplomat, Anghel moved to Lisbon in 2001, where he studied economics at the University of Lisbon, before embarking on a career in finance. During those years, he developed a keen interest in woodworking, to which he devoted himself while not at work. His passion soon turned into a full-time occupation, and after resigning from his position at a hedge fund, he established his own design practice, Cabana Studio, in 2015.
