Hasta La Ideas

“Steel is real”—or so they say. Designer Josh Hadar takes this pithy statement to heart, crafting some of the wildest steel fabrications we’ve ever seen. The New Museum’s “Festival of Ideas” will see Hadar’s first exhibition, “The Evolution of Steel,” showcasing several years’ worth of eco-conscious bike and ‘tree’ designs from his eponymous metal shop.

New sculptural art installations… bring evolving environmental technologies to the forefront of the art world, [including] the first completely solar powered electric vehicles and photovoltaic steel trees, all with Hadar’s innovative and unique flair.
