Kaynemaile: Reward of the Rings<br />
Despite consistent protestations from<br />
experienced plastic moulders, Art Director<br />
of Creatures, Armour and Weapons for “The<br />
Lord of the Rings”, Kayne Horsham, believed<br />
he could still invent a continuously injection<br />
moulded, seamless chainmail mesh. Finally,<br />
he found technical support through Agmar<br />
Tools and later Talbot <strong>Plastics</strong>. Several<br />
years of R&D and considerable capital<br />
investment has resulted in a world first<br />
architectural translucent mesh system<br />
called ‘Kaynemaile seamless mesh’.<br />
Recently awarded the 2007 IF Materials<br />
Award (International Federation of Design), it<br />
received a finalist nomination for Germany’s<br />
official design award, DesignPreis 2008.<br />
