The aim of this project was to understand and express the essence of a chosen sheet material and the possibilities it can offer through the creative application of the design process.
Despite never having worked with Aluminium, I was immediately drawn to the opportunity to experiment with the material and therefore began researching its current uses which lead me to be most inspired by its use in the sleeker, speedier designs of fast cars and planes.
This initial inspiration lead to the production of a knife block which was constructed using layers of laser cut 4mm Aluminium which is shown below.
