Stacklab Lookbook - Limited

Ash A356.0 | 1-4
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. Recylced 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 or outdoor use. With
the 4 units produced in the Ash A356.0 series, STACKLAB combines
their knowledge of traditional fabrication techniques and experimental
research to demonstrate how sustainable design fundamentally enriches
process and product.
