      • Product Description:

        Thomas Heatherwick's Extrusions work represents the world's first single component of metal furniture, extruded by machine.

        Each seat - mirror polished aluminium made without fixtures or fittings - has been produced by the world's largest extrusion machine. Heatherwick Studio commissioned a specially designed die through which aluminium was 'squeezed' into a chair profile, complete with legs, seat and back. The die shape is laser-cut in to the front cover of the book accompanying the project.

        Also included is an essay on the production process behind the work and a review of selected projects by Heatherwick Studio.
