Aluminum Enclosure*

*Product Design | Twenty Hydraulic pressed 6061 Aluminum plates, Brass Nuts and Bolts to join

The Aluminum Enclosure was designed to challenge the material properties of sheet metal; how can an object incorporate organic forms while adhering to an industrial process.

In earlier iterations, the aluminum icosahedron construction was rigid and strong, but felt clinical and inactive. Through hydraulic pressing each convex face and hand shearing each attachment flange the second iteration not only felt more cohesive, but also had more structural integrity.
