Relay project shortlisted for Dezeen Awards 2025.
We are excited to announce that Ghost Series by Haha Studio commissioned by Relay Design Projects, has been shortlisted for the Dezeen Awards 2025.
Haha Studio has designed Ghost Series, a limited edition collection in response to Relay's invitation to produce a work experimenting with a new material, process or format.
Accepting the invitation to take part in the second commissioning round by Relay Design Projects, Haha Studio chose to explore aluminium milling, in particular, the ghost-like surface marks left behind by the milling head.
Inspired by a prototype created for a previous project, the team saw the potential for pattern-making. The broad design is created by Haha Studio; however, the movement of the drill from points A to B is determined by the software, factoring in efficiency and speed. Ghost Series focuses on this relationship between the designer and the machine, a collaboration to choreograph movement and pattern across the surface.
Other Relay projects including Soft Soil by Niveau Zero Atelier and the Anodised Series by Silo Studio were longlisted for the Dezeen Awards 2025.
