Karim Rashid For ALLOY

The Karim for ALLOY collaboration has resulted in the development of eight innovative metal tile ‘cells’ designed to change the ‘face’ of metal tiles. Available in all of ALLOY’s materials and finishes including stainless steel, copper, brass, titanium and raw steel, each design has been carefully developed, tested and manufactured in ALLOY’s Australian factory. Every tile is punched from an individual sheet of solid, 1.6mm high quality metal to deliver a seamless, hardwearing finish designed to last a lifetime.

ALLOY - Metal Tile Manufacture

 
Based in Sydney, Australia, ALLOY (ALLOY Design Pty Ltd) works exclusively with high quality metals and alloys, predominantly stainless steel, as well as titanium, copper, brass and raw steel, to design and produce modern objects, finishes and architectural features.

Jonathon Worner, design director at ALLOY, started the company in 1998 out of a fascination with the beautifully utilitarian nature of stainless steel and a love for functional, practical design nurtured by his agricultural background. Creating a small range of no-nonsense yet elegant pieces 'sculptured' from the hi-tech precision machines housed at Pressform, his family's industrial engineering company in Perth Western Australia, Jonathon quickly recognised a gap in the design market for a range of high quality, long-lasting metal home wares with a pared-back design aesthetic...

Helix - Matter Design

We have a pre-occupation with the trans­la­tion of ancient and often lost meth­ods into con­tem­po­rary cul­ture and prac­tice. Helix is a prod­uct of an ongo­ing research agenda that cen­ters on vol­ume as an area of archi­tec­tural exploration.

Helix is a half-scale spi­ral stair. While this reduced size resolves a num­ber of prac­ti­cal concerns—weight, lia­bil­ity, access—the piece cel­e­brates its imprac­ti­cal­ity. It is both col­umn and stair, yet hangs from the ceil­ing. Its uncer­tainty and changed scale inject play­ful char­ac­ter­is­tics into the sur­round­ing space, while main­tain­ing an alle­giance to the past and known.

A sec­ond pre­oc­cu­pa­tion of ours is what we term “plas­tic rhetoric”. The solid, heavy, and vol­u­met­ric action of cast­ing con­crete trans­forms a liq­uid mat­ter into a solid mass that wants to crack. The stair’s rounded, plas­tic, and cur­va­ceous treads reflect the material’s ear­lier liq­uid state. Its twist­ing accel­er­ates as it wraps around the sup­port col­umn, appear­ing to re-plasticize the fig­ure. The entire construct’s organic and mal­leable appear­ance is coun­ter­in­tu­itive in light of the zero-tolerance sys­tem of nest­ing and key­ing from unit to unit.

Spi­rals are ubiq­ui­tous across cul­tures and times. Helix is our spiral.

The stair is pro­duced with pre­cast unre­in­forced con­crete. These treads are unre­in­forced to test some claims as the team move closer and closer to stone as a test­ing mate­r­ial. Unre­in­forced con­crete has lit­tle to no ten­sile capac­ity mak­ing this project a struc­tural pro­to­type in col­lab­o­ra­tion with Matthew John­son of Simp­son Gumpertz & Heger. Each tread is cast in a fully encap­su­lated cus­tom mold. These molds are rub­ber with a solid wood mother-mold to clamp the assem­bly together. The molds are vibrated rig­or­ously dur­ing the pour­ing process and then imme­di­ately steamed for twelve hours to cure...

Taptile

Taptile is a simple, clean and safe lighting solution, uniquely providing touch sensitive lighting control systems for your entire home including wet areas such as your bathroom, kitchen or even outdoors.

These favorite spaces have evolved rapidly in recent years and have been subject to technological advancements in keeping with the rest of our homes. Subsequently the need to simply and stylishly control lighting and other electrical appliances in these wet environments has become an ever increasing problem.

Waterproofing traditional switch technology is expensive and often results in controls which are far from aspirational, discordant with the environment they are designed to work in. Water and or steam tend to find its way into moving parts and often cause damage resulting in dangerous, unreliable and unsightly products...
