This Wrench Box is an aluminum case imagined within a speculative future where, by 2050, the mechanic's profession has become a distant memory. Designed to preserve a single wrench, the object transforms an everyday tool into a family heirloom, shifting its value from utility to remembrance.
Made from aluminum, the box draws on the material language of the automotive industry while reinterpreting it as a domestic object. No longer a working tool, the wrench becomes a symbolic artifact, carrying the embodied knowledge and manual skills of a profession that has gradually disappeared.
Rather than functioning as a toolbox, Wrench Box acts as a contemporary reliquary. It explores how everyday objects can preserve personal and collective memory, transforming a familiar industrial tool into a collectible piece that reflects on inheritance, craftsmanship, and the legacy of manual work.
Materials: Aluminium - Fiberglass - Rubber - PLA
