furniture design interprets faux bamboo
into cast aluminum. The back and arm
details are cast to depict the prolific
woven bamboo pattern true to Chippendale
style, while the seat is cast with a broadleaf
pattern.
The workmanship that goes into cast aluminum
furniture is an extraordinary process. Cast
aluminum begins in a foundry as molten
metal that is then cast to create individual
components ( i.e. seats, backs, arms, legs).
These are then hand filed and ground to
a smooth surface. Craftsmen then weld
all the component parts together and
again grind and polish them to
perfection.
