About

The international pooling of technical skill and resources after the War of 1987 resulted in the advanced construction of Moonbase Alpha. Development of the Weld-Robot tool paved the way for shape research and three dimensional tryouts. An angled metal facade where sheets meet to form a design based on future travel to planet bases in outer space.

A celebration of future architecture where we trade eloquent forms for functional design. Flat surfaces tooled in different patterns throughout the object. Handmade with miles and miles of welds to form the Moonbase Alpha.

The stainless steel base and bronze welds are heat treated. This way we arrange colours to our liking.

A free of mind welding pattern is created by our artists. 

A basic geometric shape that echoes spacecraft and futureism.

The warm gradient flows from yellows and reds to blues and browns.

An architectural view of the object. It won’t look out of place on the moon.
