RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Nobody use nails in that position and function .However, it is very easy way to test people 's reactions with this chair.Therefore i wanted to create such a chair with such a sharp and unusual material.
CHALLENGE: Actually the hardest part was about the harmony of glass and metal nails.The question was about if the copper nails can be use in the glass .First i made a pretest of my work,after i use them in the glass.Copper is the only metal can be use in glass without any crack.
