INFLATING METAL SINCE 1995

Our first inflated metal chair appeared in Blueprint Magazine in November 1995 and since then we've been perfecting the process of blowing or inflating metal for a variety of material applications. After patenting Blown Metal™ back in 2001 our team have been involved in some interesting commissions, working internationally to deliver solutions for high concept interiors, large scale installations and architectural design.

Blown Metal™ offers a beautiful, unique and durable solution for any space. As a lightweight and high strength material, it can be produced for the most hard-wearing and robust of material applications. Like blown glass, it has beautiful surface finishes. And, like soft inflatables, it also has limitless shaping and size capabilities. Blown Metal™ combines all of this with the strength, durability and permanence of metal.

CUSTOM SERVICE

Our unique and innovative material has attracted some of the greatest talent in interior design and architecture, allowing our team to work with highly innovative clients. 

 
 

We offer a largely custom design service, but have a number of award-winning products now in our collection, such as the Squeeze radiator (MaterialPREIS Award and Northern Design Award) and our modular screen (winner of Interior Design's Best of Year Award). We also utilise existing products and designs to create tailored design solutions and unique commissioned pieces. Architects, interior designers and commercial customers have the flexibility to apply their designs to suit individual projects, developing designs and processes to suit their requirements.  

Whether you would like to specify a custom product, collaborate on a completely new design or commission a one-off statement piece, we are happy to help. We have a dedicated, knowledgeable and friendly team who will assist you with every detail.
