Christopher Prinz “Large Wrinkled Panel” In The Mirror-Polished Finish

Large-size wrinkled steel wall-mounted panel by Omaha-based designer Christopher Prinz, who achieves this unusual texture by repeatedly creasing a thin sheet of steel, resulting in a strong, rigid, and unique form.The pictured mirror-polished edition is currently produced and available for purchase. Additional made-to-order editions in the raw finishes have a lead time of 6-8 weeks/are priced at $12500 and made-to-order polished editions have a lead time of 6-12 weeks/are priced at $14500 due to the more labor-intensive plating process that they require.CHRISTOPHER PRINZ is an Omaha-based designer seeking to expose extreme and rarely-visible possibilities of materials associated with manufacturing. His works are shaped using a repetitive, large-scale steel creasing technique, and finished with different combinations of electro-plated metals. Through this process, the material becomes terrain-like, bringing an expressiveness to these otherwise fairly mute industrial materials.Prinz received a BFA in Industrial Design from the Rhode Island School of Design in 2014.
