iron-age Collection

The iron-age design is based on giving maximum added value to Inexpensive materials through innovative design. Besides the main material of steel, iron-age shapes and finds functional possibilities for many other inexpensive materials (glass, leather, copper, pottery, stone, wood, etc.). The design method is based on finding possible meaningful relations between iron as main material and other secondary materials. It also addresses the behavior of materials through time to produce designed items that gain value by age.

iron-age designs produce items of furniture, fittings for interior finishes and other accessories using as much as possible recycled steel from salvaged steel bars from demolished buildings.

iron-age is a project that attempts to come up with intellectual designs based on research, mostly in the field of archeology, and thus it addresses the need of applying archeological data (items found in excavations and published in scholarly reports) to future industry.

Within the general philosophy of reusing knowledge of the past iron-age has aims to show possibilities of labor-intensive rather than machine recycling that provides a tool for environmental protection with socio economic meaning.
