The starting point of this project was a very specific production process: cast iron. It is one of the oldest methods of working ferrous metals. The production process has an almost archaic physicality and materiality. Iron foundries make part of heavy industry. Although cast iron is mainly used for decorative purposes, such as in Victorian garden furniture(...)

The starting point for this project was a specific manufacturing method: the production of cast iron, a material that combines great strength with a heavy weight. Cast iron performs well under compression, which is why it is used as a structural material for building bridges and, on a scale closer to furniture production, as a base for heavy machinery. It(...)
