Ash A356.0 | Limited Series

The innovative casting process behind the limited, A356.0 series uses over 90% re-purposed material. Each piece's base is milled from a diseased ash log. The sawdust from the milling process is reclaimed and compacted around the base to create a mould. Recycled aluminum beer cans (generously donated by Steam Whistle Brewing) are melted and cast into the sawdust mould to form a conic shape. The sawdust mould burns away when it comes into contact with the molten metal leaving irregular, textured impressions on the aluminum cone.

Each cone is subsequently polished and fastened to the wood base to form functional stools and tables for indoor and exterior use.

STACKLAB combines their knowledge of traditional fabrication technics and experimental research to demonstrate how sustainable design fundamentally enriches process and product.

The ASH A356.0 series is made to order out of the STACKLAB studio. Custom details are available upon request: [email protected]
