Form? Function? Metal Sculpture crit 4/3

In the documentary Objectified, designers discussed the interrelated concepts of form and function. Using the bending, cutting and welding techniques you have learned, make a functional object not more than 4 feet in any direction, using the provided steel. You may take one of two approaches. Your aesthetic and structural choices can be dictated by the object's function, or those same decisions can subvert the object's function.

Some metalworking inspiration:

Antony Gormley sculptures
Ida Ekblad sculptures
Art cars
History of chairs
