MC5

MC is a series of objects that could be built at the Branch foundry. These objects are an ongoing exploration of material, process, and color. I came up with the idea of using stock brass pipes and laser-cut leather caps to create simple vessels that could help us organize our working space. The tall vessel, could be a pen holder. The medium could possibly be for your keys. The small vessel could be for coins. These vessels can have different functions simply by changing height or diameter.

At the foundry, Josh and I spent time to cut and exact the pipes, hand polish them, bake on an enamel finish, and finally created the leather disks (subtly engraved with our Branch logo) to cap the bottom of the tubes. The concept behind the color palette was to bring a nature-inspired effect to your desk or anywhere in your home. The colors we chose were ones that could live well together in order to create elegant geometric landscape.
