derek mcleod: cast iron table


photo by: shanghoon jeong

this side table by derek mcleod is made from an uncommon material for the home, cast iron. while the
heavy duty material is common in the world of industry, it is rarely seen in the home outside of old
radiators and cooking pans. the table measures 45cm in diameter and 35cm tall. it is cast as a single piece
using molten iron and then ground down to create a flat top surface by blanchard grinding, a process
which makes the top surface flat and parallel to the bottom within 0.001 inches. this process also gives
the table top its unique circular pattern. the bottom of the table showcases the raw cast iron, with its
uneven and dark surface.

very cool. But I'm sure totally unaffordable!
So it beats the concept of industrialising a design...
Shame.
