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.
