TORI Contemporary Coffee Table in Sand Cast Aluminium by Ries
About the Item
Tori is a stool/coffee table of variable dimensions inspired by the Japanese arch that marks the boundary between profane and sacred space.
This piece was cast using the lost mold method with low density expanded polystyrene. The front profile of the piece is drawn and carved on various EPS plates, which are then stacked and glued together, resulting in the mold of the piece in real scale (1: 1). Lastly, the mold is buried in a compressed mixture of sand, earth and coal, and the molten aluminum is cast at a temperature of 700 C. This action causes the expanded polystyrene to be dissolved by the molten aluminum and occupy the volume where it was buried. Once the aluminum has solidified, the final piece is unearthed, revealing on its surface the texture of the lost mold.
This item was designed and is made in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

- Terra Eternity Contemporary Low Table in SandLocated in London, GBEarth is the origin of everything and it’s the most natural material we can work with. With this project, ’TERRA ETERNITY’, Studio Yoon Seok-hyeon intends to bring the material to our space of everyday life. This attempt would allow us to relish the eternal value of earth and to raise a question about the damaged sustainability of all things today. The object created with a mixture of sand, soil, and natural adhesive proves the material's practical and aesthetical values as showing its raw texture and color. This object can be recycled easily or returned to our ground without making pollutions after its service life. I want to tell a story about terra eternity which can be told with the circular system. This project started from La Réunion island...Category
