MILAN: Furniture Fair - Cast 001



MOST:  Cast 001. Detail of a table formed in reconstructed stone, from the Cast 001 collection. The shagreen texture with a bronze patinated finish gives an overall metallic sheen. Using a particularly fine molding process, the surface texture creates an intriguing quality that questions what the material could be - metal, stone or concrete? The collection also includes a stool, and features three cast finishes: Shagreen, Wood and Plastic-Wrap in a choice of metallic hues: Bronze, Silver and Old Gold.
Cast 001. Award-winning British architect, Sally Mackereth who designed the Cast 001 outdoor furniture launched at MOST in the Museo Nazionale della Scienza e Della Tecnica.
 
Cast 001. Inspiration; chain mail is transformed into a reconstructed stone tile.
