AL is a minimalist series of furniture created by Santiago-based designer Rodrigo Bravo presented at Verso in Milan Design Week 2024. Each item in the series is crafted using a unique method that involves CNC folding techniques paired with a mechanical system to connect the panels. This construction approach not only defines the physical structure but also sets the aesthetic tone of the furniture. Aluminum is the primary material used in the AL series. Known for its strength and lightweight characteristics, aluminum is versatile enough for both indoor and outdoor use. The material’s durability and ease of maintenance make it an optimal choice for the furniture’s construction. The design process itself is governed by a philosophy of simplicity and functionality, resulting in pieces that are straightforward yet impactful. The series includes six distinct types of furniture, each made entirely from e:5 sandblasted aluminum.
