The Snib is an active engagement of tactility, repeating the cylindric typology, its minimal scale connecting to a wider design language. The snib reveals a simple turning gesture that heroes reduction and utility in design. The compact cylinder operates the fastening; the open and closed positions continue the minimalist aesthetic in either action - a joy and satisfaction to be discovered.Australian Design No 202216354

    • Aluminium is comprised of 100% recycled alloy, limiting impacts to the environment by reducing unsustainable energy expenditure during extraction. Aluminium is also a leading choice in the use of more sustainable metals. Light but sturdy and resistant to corrosion, it has the unique ability to be recycled indefinitely.

      Care:

      These products can be restored to their original appearance with a light application of metal polish, followed by a beeswax protectant. Consider a silver toned polish to enhance lustre.

      Caution:

      When Aluminium is exposed to the weather, several processes can occur, leading to its degradation and transformation. Here are some of the effects and changes that can happen to Aluminium when it is exposed to various weather conditions:

      Oxidation:

      Aluminium readily reacts with oxygen in the air, forming a thin layer of Aluminium oxide on its surface. This layer acts as a protective barrier, preventing further corrosion. However, if the Aluminium surface is damaged or the protective oxide layer is compromised, the underlying Aluminium can be exposed to further corrosion.

      Corrosion:

      Aluminium can undergo corrosion when it comes into contact with certain corrosive elements in the environment, such as moisture, salts, acids, or pollutants. Corrosion can result in the formation of pitting, white corrosion spots, or a dull, rough surface.

      Saltwater exposure:

      When Aluminium is exposed to saltwater, the chloride ions present can accelerate corrosion. This is particularly problematic in marine environments, where Aluminium structures or components can experience accelerated deterioration due to the corrosive effects of saltwater.

      Weathering:

      Exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from sunlight can cause a process called weathering. UV radiation can degrade the surface of Aluminium, leading to colour changes, fading, and the formation of a chalky or powdery residue on the surface.
