Cast Stainless Steel

David Raine, the designer behind Alkamie.biz, started out as a poet and a sculptor before travelling the world as a photographer for Associated Press and working for several years in the film industry as a producer and a designer. A sense of poetry, of objects as metaphors, always lies at the root of his work. Using materials that combine different qualities of permanence and fragility, he is interested in objects that can function as furniture and have stories to tell. Both masculine and feminine qualities are strongly present in his designs. His inspiration comes from both the wild Cornish coastline with its natural organic forms and a love of urban city life.
