ronen kadushin: discast chair


'dicast chair' by ronen kadushin

the 'discast chair' by israeli designer ronen kadushin is made from arranging pieces of wood into a sandbox and letting
molten aluminium overflow into the spaces they left. the furniture object, which is made in two parts, is an experiment with
unforeseen results and giving up control on the production process. the back and hind legs are made as one part and are locked in
by casting the seat and front legs over them. the large bulges at the bottom of the front legs were created when the sand 'sponged in'
the aluminium. this chair is one-of-a-kind.

Great chair! I saw the Max Lamb project link. To me there is no influence whatsover! Ronen's is random in form while Max's form is very deliberate.
Both are great and very different!
