BAILEIGH COLLECTION
The Baileigh Collection celebrates the industrial technique of embossing beads into thin sheets of metal to create structure and rigidity.
The collection includes a stacking cafe chair with an ash frame and a 2.5mm aluminium shell and a flat pack sliding door cabinet.
Working within the strict constraints of a Baileigh electric bead roller machine, traditionally used to create custom car panels, the creative process explored the limits and structural possibilities of applying beads to thin sheet aluminium. Experimenting and evolving from complex to simple, the resulting objects celebrate the purity of form created through a single technique used to transform flimsy sheet materials into elegant structural components.
