CRUST

In the early stages of aluminium production, factories cast molten aluminium into massive block weighing in at over 26 tonnes. These blocks are clad with undulating, organic textures that are a result of the casting process.
In the preparation of the blocks to be sent to other factories, the sides are cut off, leaving behind thin rough plates–known as “crusts”.

In a continuation of our exploration of industrial narratives, we use these crusts to create interior objects that reflect the unexpectedly raw backstory to an everyday material – aluminium.
