MAKING MATERIALS
Every design demands its own requirements from one or more material.
Whether for its aesthetic qualities or for its singular ability to be
manipulated into a desired shape or form, material selection has become a
crucial factor towards the visual and structural success of my work.
The simple use of contrasting materials can dramatically change the
aesthetics of a design. I often use aluminium to break up areas where there
is too much of the same material, supplying an optical balance throughout
its components.
Frequently used materials
Solid hardwoods and softwoods
Plywood
Polished aluminium
Steel
Sheet polypropylene
Sheet acrylic
