This approach is clearly embodied in ANGLE, a work developed around the pleasure of shifting angles and shapes. Built from interconnected measuring instruments, a protractor, triangular ruler, and straightedge, ANGLE allows its components to be repositioned according to indicated degrees, generating multiple configurations. Constructed in transparent, lightweight acrylic, the structure emphasizes precision while creating a distinct sense of visual fluidity: joints and links reinforce geometric balance, while the material’s clarity produces an evocative floating effect. Hasegawa extends these principles into furniture, where strict geometry becomes adaptable and spatial. A similar logic appears in wrench, a transformable work composed of offset wrenches, a long screw, a washer, and a hexagonal nut. Because the elements are neither glued nor welded, the piece can twist, fold flat for transport, and be disassembled back into functional tools. Here, utility is not abandoned, it is reframed, revealing beauty in industrial form and opening a new vocabulary where objects can shift between tool, furniture, and art.
