Upon’s delicate lines disperse in order to reassemble or to follow their own path, expanding into open-ended spatial patterns. Laser-cut pieces of flat sheet metal are bent along the score lines, before being manually stretched into their final, three-dimensional shape. The combination of cutting-edge technology and craft is an intrinsic quality of Upon, allowing for a variety of applications.
Upon is a first attempt at the Diez Office to design a manufacturing process for furniture rather than simply the furniture itself.

Die filigranen Linien von Upon entfernen sich voneinander, um wieder zueinanderzufinden oder eigene Wege zu gehen und sich in räumlichen Mustern zu verdichten. Ausgangsmaterial ist ein flaches Stück Blech, das nach einem exakt festgelegten Muster per Laser zugeschnitten, und an den vorgesehenen Stellen maschinell abgekantet wird. Der zweite Arbeitsschritt des Auseinanderziehens gibt den Möbeln ihre dreidimensionale Gestalt und wird per Hand ausgeführt. Upon vereint softwaregesteuerte Lasercut-Technologie und Handwerk.
