Looks Can Be Deceiving
Consisting of 3 stools and a dining chair, the Shell seating group is designed by Sydney design group Nicholls-Scott. Looking as if they were pulled straight off of the bat-mobile, Shell furniture is made from 2.0mm sheet aluminum, which is then cut and molded for durability and strength. Nicholls-Scott design with the sole purpose of lessoning their environmental footprint and creating a more sustainable manufacturing process.

“made from 2.0mm sheet aluminum” doesn’t look like it in the picture

I can confirm that it is 2mm sheet, (it’s deceptively light) it’s just had lots of hand finishing after welding.
this is currently exhibited in Melbourne: http://www.launch-pad.com.au/galleries/2008-finalists-exhibition.

HOw is this a lower “foot print” yea the alumiuium is recycleable but the fab method and the polishint are hardly eco frendly….jeeze. Nice design, nothing new and unless thats 6061 T6 or better its going to dent damn easy.

a lot of resources would have gone into its production, where a more sustainable medium would have been just as good. this factor for me really offsets any aesthetics the product has.
Stop
Think
Change..
