Description
One of the biggest icons in industrial mass production; the classic tin can.
The miracles are in the material and its processing; A relatively weak and flexible material that is transformed into strength and volume - rolling a thin metal sheet into a mathematical round shape combined with pressing lines upon the form. Connecting these features with modern tools resulted in a new shape language that still breathes the essence of the classic tin can.
