Jesse Butterfield is a London-based designer and researcher exploring the relationships between material culture, place, and systems of production. Through hands-on making and material experimentation, his work embraces unpredictability as part of the creative process. His recent objects investigate sheet steel’s ability to behave like paper. Beginning with simple paper maquettes, the work translates their naïve forms into steel through laser cutting and welding, preserving the playful character of the original prototypes.

The Hand Hammered Steel Mirror is part of a larger series that begins with a series of maquettes, in which the research focuses on scaling up the naivety of the paper prototypes into steel. In its transition from paper to steel, scissors give way to laser cutting and tape become welds, maintaining the cartoonish charm of its original maquette.
