When we make locally we can create a better dialogue between the people who make and the people who buy. When we create this dialogue we can ensure that the products are made sustainably and ethically and help consumers recognise the true value of the objects that surround us.A lot of our work is made from aluminium. We chose aluminium for a number of reasons, it can sit amongst a masculine and industrial pallet really well but equally is quite a soft, feminine and tactile metal. It can take on any colour in its environment which makes it exceptionally versatile. It also does not corrode which means it can be used indoors or outdoors and it will last forever. The sustainability of aluminium is debated quite a lot. When it is 100% recycled it takes roughly as much CO2 per ton to produce as timber. When it’s freshly extracted, however, it uses about five times as much CO2 per ton to produce as steel. Aluminium can be almost infinitely recycled but the amount of demand for aluminium is far higher than could be met by the amount we recycle. Like most materials you could claim it was sustainable or really unsustainable and you wouldn't be wrong in either case.Material choice is a really important topic for designers but for us it comes down to context and lifecycle. We base our work around a material that is beautiful, versatile and that if it all went out of ‘style’ it could be chopped up and made into something else pretty easily. No material is really virtuous but as they go, aluminium is pretty good.
