While the object still belongs to the typology of screws, it surprises with properties that are not usually associated with these. The screw is neither small nor sturdy. It can no longer be used as a connector, the thread can no longer fulfill its purpose, and the head cannot withstand a wrench. This paradox defines the object. Details resulting from the manual manufacturing process, such as casting seams, adorn the soft screw. The manual manufacturing of the foam screws also stands in a contrast to mass produced screws. Our casting mold allows for reproductions in any color and softness, but nevertheless requires a lot of labour, time and precision for each piece. Since the soft screws are handmade and each casting is a new chemical reaction, each screw comes out a little different.
