I Make Unique Furniture By Pouring Cast Aluminum Onto Wood

ADVERTISEMENT

Undercut is a concept furniture project that blends two materials – Mahogany wood and cast aluminum – to create new furniture fashion without using any connectors or additives.

The models for the objects are made of fine wood and polystyrene foam for the legs. I smooth the surface of the model using a Computer Numerical Control cutting machine and manually finish the legs in my workshop. After the pieces of the model are assembled, the wood and foam elements are buried in a sand mould. Molten aluminum is then poured through special holes onto the model. The hot metal dissolves the foam and takes its place forming the solid legs of the piece of furniture.

    Is it possible to make this without using the foam? And if so wouldn't the wood begin to burn? I'm trying to cast metal in between wood for my college project but not finding enough info to move ahead.....any help will be appreciated thanks :)

    Very unique look, very creative. I love the rough look of the metal against the smooth surface of the wood.
