Find out what important role aluminium plays in the new James Bond film ‘The World is not Enough’.
In Autumn 1999, when the new James Bond movie The World is not Enough called for a special money case for 007, there was only one choice : a suitcase made from aluminium.
The exclusive money case, was specifically designed for 007 to carry millions of pounds and was commissioned for the movie by EON Productions Limited. It has a starring role in The World is not Enough and debuts in the crucial opening scene of the film.
Featuring a specially treated aluminium shell and a magnesium frame, the suitcase is both hard-wearing and ultra-light. Clean lines, rounded corners, elegant ribbing and a brushed satin finish give a stylish, classic appearance - the ultimate case for the ultimate secret agent.
The aluminium suitcase was specially designed by Samsonite Europe’s designers in Belgium. The new aluminium range is perfect for Bond - it not only looks sensational, but, like all aluminium products, it is built to last.
The international exhibition "Aluminum by design: Jewelry to Jets" explores aluminium not only from the viewpoint of art, architecture, and design, but also as a major contributor to shaping 20th century culture and society. The brilliance, strength, beauty, and versatility of aluminium provide an unparalleled medium for design and engineering. It reminds us that art and design enhance our day-to-day lives in the most unexpected ways.
The exhibition includes works by Otto Wagner, Marcel Breuer, Isamu Noguchi, Philippe Starck, and many others.
