yangshueiyuan — Railing

Railing gathers six years of work by Taiwanese product designer yangshueiyuan around a single overlooked component: the ball-and-socket joint used in Taiwan's public railings. Street photographs sit alongside 3D models, mock-ups and manufacturing notes, tracing how one adaptable fitting shapes parks, sidewalks and airports. A separate stapled manual for the ironsmith is bound in. Varied paper stocks mark the shift between observation and production. Text in English and Chinese.
