When you reduce a Holden Commodore Vl to one line, every proportion has to earn its place. That is what makes profile metal art a different kind of collectible, and why the Holden Commodore Vl rewards a second look.
The Holden Commodore Vl pieces in our range are cut from steel and delivered ready to fix to the wall, with the price stepping from $69.95 at 50 cm to $209.95 at 140 cm, a range that lets the same outline work by a workstation or across a full wall.
How the piece is made
The Holden Commodore Vl is cut, not printed. The car's own outline becomes the edge of the object, which is why it reads as a form rather than a picture.
Why metal, not print
The difference is the edge. A print has a rectangular border; a Holden Commodore Vl profile is bounded by the car itself.
The difference between a print and a cut profile is the difference between a photo of a car and the car's own shadow.
Cut-metal pieces
Finish and care
The pieces are finished for indoor wall display and mount with the included fixings. Because there is no exposed paper or canvas, they are robust to the bumps of a hallway or a den.
- display indoors; keep away from sustained damp.
- Mount with the supplied fixings; light pieces need only a single secure point.
- Dust with a dry cloth, no solvents required.
Why this outline holds up
As a Holden shape, the Holden Commodore Vl carries a brand outline you recognise before you read a badge, which is why the profile works as metal art.
A print flattens a car into a rectangle. A cut profile keeps the car's own shape as the edge of the object, so the Holden Commodore Vl comes across as a form on the wall rather than a picture of one.
Each Holden Commodore Vl profile starts as a digital profile of the car, then is cut from steel. The result is a single clean edge, no frame, no glass, no colour.
Hang it where the light lands first. The edge you notice on the way in is the edge worth cutting.
Quiet rooms suit a smaller profile; loud rooms need one that can hold its own from across the space.
A laser-cut Holden Commodore Vl keeps the exact line measured from the real Holden, no colour, no livery, just the line that makes it recognisable.
The Commodore VL is the specific car behind the Holden Commodore Vl; the outline is taken from its production line, so the shape is the real one.
A quick wipe keeps a Holden Commodore Vl presentable. There are no solvents to worry about and no glass to clean.
A row of identical small frames fights itself. One larger outline settles the wall instead.
Recognition is the whole point. The outline is built so the car reads before the words do.
Small changes in height read as care. Keep the horizon line steady when you group more than one.
A profile ages better than a photograph. There is no moment to date it and no colour to fall out of fashion.
