As part of the London Design Festival, CONTEMPORIST visited the Tent London design event, where British artist Toby Poolman exhibited some wall art and a coffee table he made from various metal parts of an old tractor.
作为伦敦设计节的一部分，CONTEMPORIST参观了Tent London的设计活动。在此次设计展中，英国艺术家Toby Poolman展出了某种墙体艺术和他用各种废旧拖拉机金属部件做成的咖啡桌。

The sculptures, TE 2255557 01 (sculptural coffee table) and TE 2255557 02 (wall piece), have been manufactured from recycled engineering components, sourced from the remains of a vintage Ferguson tractor. Their construction involved the careful deconstruction of the seized up and rusted machine before cleaning, shaping and welding each component into place to create a contemporary and intracate form. Each piece has been coated with a protective finish to preserve the aged surfaces of the pieces, the titles of which refer to the serial number of the machine from which they were constructed.

这些雕塑，即TE 2255557 01 (咖啡桌雕塑) 和 TE 2255557 02 (壁挂)，来源于一个老式的弗格森拖拉机的剩余部分，由回收的机械部件制造而成。它们的建造包括将这个停止不用、生锈的机器仔细地分解，然后清洗、塑型、再将各个部分焊接起来创造成错综复杂的现代形式。每件作品最后都要覆以保护层来保护艺术的表面。作品的标题就是它们创建来源的机器序列号。
