Canned
Project Brief
Statement
Design a doorstopper that could withstand the weight of a fire rated door.
I was inspired by texture of a crumpled can & how that form could be applied elsewhere. Through a series of iterations and form testing, a selected can was cast in concrete and transformed into a doorstopper.
16 oz cans worked best for heavy fireproof doors, cans with a minimal slope were most effective in holding the door open
