The brainchild of Norwegian designer Daniel Rybakken, Fields is a sculpture made of industrially produced components, with no apparent practical function. Its purpose is purely emotional. Through abstraction, cold, rigid materials take on a poetic warmth, inviting a game of associations. When does a metal cylinder become a tree? When do individual elements form a field? The answer lies in balance—every proportion, contrast, and finish shaping the story Fields tells. This project is an exploration of material and process, pushing extruded aluminum beyond expectation. Free from commercial constraints, it embraces pure experimentation, revealing new possibilities within recycled aluminum. Fields is both a study in reduction and a statement on transformation—an object that is felt as much as it is seen.

The type of freedom handed to us from Lars and Hydro can sometimes be seen as a hindrance to the creative process, but in this case it opened the door to not having to think about the “business case” associated with the traditional typologies of our industry.
