HALE :: Industrial Design

Have you ever seen powder-coated aluminum look so good?  Yeah, I didn't think so.  Though a young firm, HALE already has an impressive collection of minimalist furniture and accessories.  I love the Tidal Shelf, but at $550 a pop, I don't know how feasible it would be to create even a minor shelving system.  Wouldn't that look so good, though?  A few scattered along the length of a wall?  Sigh.
