It is apparent that whilst patches provide strength in the repair of an airframe, they simultaneously provide an unmatched aesthetic with their calculated geometric structure. The series of RI-003-24 wall panels attempts to capture and present this combination of beauty and function.

RI-002-24 is an evolution piece expanding upon its counterpart, RI-001-24. The newly introduced technique of riveted standoffs was inspired by the appearance of clecos, a common device for temporary joinery in metal fabrication. RI-002-24 provides functional storage and a contemporary yet timeless presence to any desk environment.

description:
RI-001-24 not only stands as the introductory creation of Radu Industrii, but a beginning in the design processes of future creations. RI-001-24 has taken inspiration from a section of an airfoil on a fixed wing aircraft. To take structures meant to be airborne and place them in a living space has provoked many ideas as to future productions of Radu Industrii. With aircraft level tolerances in rivet pitch, radiused corners and gaps between its components, RI-001-24 embodies the precision of aircraft structures.
