Description
Side table/shelf in casted aluminum.
“I noticed that the shape of mass-produced material inflicted my way of designing. Since that moment, I have tried to break out of those limitations and worked to create my own shapes. In this project, I was able to persuade the only foundry in Norway that casts aluminum into casting in my particular way.
In this project, I made my own sandbox from pallet collars that you normally use to plant flowers or greens. I moved around the sand to make some obstacles for the aluminum and poured liquid aluminum into the sand. And this is when it gets exciting – watching the metal run through the mold, creating its own way. If I see a hole created by the metal’s unexpected path through the mold, I decide whether to pour more to close the hole or stop pouring to keep it. This is a very intuitive and instinct-based way of working. The shapes created in aluminum are then welded together. This time, it became a side table/shelf. If I made it today, it might have become something different.”
