These contemporary Pressure Vases are made from standard steel tubes, which start to yield when exposed to extreme pressure. The visible folds make the usually solid and cold material look soft and tangible. Typically, the industry considers this deformation to be a defect. Since the folds clamp in the bottom of the pressure vase, the deformation became a functional detail.

The technique was developed with the self-modified hydraulic press in Tim Teven's studio.
