Spider's Web Screen

Spider's Web Screen

A unique, hand-forged spider's web designed to be one side of a pergola in France.

The style is purposefully realistic rather than being overly stylised and the fixing methods have been chosen to reflect this.

Rivets and wraps are used to attach the web to itself and imitate the adhesive quality of the spider's silk. Square section has been used with the corners having been forged down to end up with very heavily textured round bar to give a very organic feel.

The entire web is set within a rigid structure and squashed ball spacers are used to attach to the side frames.
