MT-01 — Cast metal

A356 Aluminium

In the Chronos Chair the aluminium does the connecting. A single cast vein runs between the oak volumes and carries the load, so the metal is structure and sculpture at the same time. We chose A356 because it can take complicated geometry and still has real physical presence in a room.

The same alloy is part of the Chronos Floor Lamp, where it sits with the same ebonized oak and with formed glass.

Behaviour
A casting alloy. It fills complex moulds, holds its shape under load, and is light for a metal, which is why the Chronos Chair's connecting vein is cast in it.
Fabrication
Investment cast as one continuous piece.
Finish
Recorded per specimen.
Provenance
Recorded per specimen.
