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.

This project has been longlisted in the collectible design category of Dezeen Awards 2025.
