Distinctively designed utensils created from machine-cut aluminium

The Canadian designers have made from machined aluminium for an exhibition a Salt and Pepper shaker and Ice-cube tray at this year’s Toronto design week.

Designer Jamie Wolfond and local studio MSDS Studio curated the Aluminum Group. The team said "Designers from across Canada have come together to create a collection of machined aluminium objects. Including practical prototypes and piecof sculpture, the show covers a diverse range of themes unified by a single medium."

It forms part of the Toronto Design Offsite Festival (TO DO)  which is an annual event composed of design-focused exhibits – which kicks off on 17 January to runs alongside interiors trade-fair IDS Toronto.

Aluminum Group is presented at the Erin Stump Projects (ESP), an art and design gallery in the city's west end neighbourhood.

The items were modelled in three dimensions on a computer and then cut from a block of aluminium using a CNC-router. The result is a bunch of objects with a variety of aesthetics and uses.

Aluminum Group will run at ESP, 1558 Dupont St, from 16 – 19 January 2020.
