Galvanised steel has always been highly sought after in industrial applications and in exterior architecture due to its resistance to corrosion, but never for aesthetic purposes. With a series of products – a shelving system, a tea set, side tables and a credenza – the RCA graduation project investigates the aesthetic qualities that can arise from the galvanisation process. A specifically developed surface treatment is used to celebrate the crystalline structure of galvanised steel and elevates the material. Diverse intensities of the crystalline pattern are created through different grades of patination. For the side tables and the credenza the material is combined with Italian granite to juxtapose it with other natural crystalline patterns.

Seubert

is a product design studio in London (UK).

When he first made his now signature wicker and aluminium stools and benches in 2018 for a show at the Hepworth Gallery in Wakefield, German-born (1986, Forchheim) Tino Seubert found that they opened up a whole new design philosophy for him. They became the starting point for his future projects, which all revel in the juxtaposition of the organic and the industrial and enjoy the exploration of unconventional contexts. For Seubert, the organic is often a welcoming entry point into his work, with people from different countries drawn in by familiar traditional craft elements, only to be tantalised by the clash with sleek, precise industrial design. As a designer, he thrives off an energetic participation in the processes that go into making his pieces: whether it’s wood and stonework or metal machining, electronics or anodising aluminium by hand, Seubert is always obsessively engaged with the detail of his creations.
