Concept 1: Z-Frame
The U.S. has a thriving metalwork industry. With it being the third biggest producer of raw steel in 2014, employing over 149,000 people in mills and over 69,000 in foundries.
But today, the industry has shifted from larger scale integrated mills, to smaller, specialised ‘mini-mills’, which use recycled scrap rather than raw ore to produce the material. Today, two-thirds of the iron and steel produced in the U.S. is made from recycled scrap, rather than from iron ore.
The Z-frame pays homage to this industry, and lends itself to the material and manufacturing methods used in specialised mini-mills across the US.
The Z-frame is a free-standing base that has a built-in shelf to hold a range of items while users engage with the product. The tray can easily be removed, exposing a rack that can hold items of clothing or a towel, further enhancing the object’s functionality while being used.
