The primi collection
The primi collection is our first series of things and it is the result of a months-long material and cultural research into an incredibly malleable, versatile and durable natural element; aluminum. From history of use through its position in an environmental context to its cultural connotations. This research has been the foundation for how to handle this material with our own hands in order to output a relevant and contemporary thing.
Primi is the Italian word for entré’s primarily based on pasta and pasta has been a great unforeseen source of inspiration to approaching and handling aluminum as they hold many of the same qualities, properties and especially how they react and change when exposed to heat. This juxtaposition has been our gateway to aestheticize, color, shape and push this material into unique things that care to be seen. Bon appétit.
