What kind of imperfections are to be expected with sand-casted objects?
Our Fluid series products are made by sand casting – pouring molten aluminium or brass into sand molds. Product surface is finished by hand-polishing to desired smoothness (brushed or polished) and treating it (oxidising or ageing) into one of the available finish options.
This process means that every table is unique. Due to the sand casting method, as well as the use of recycled metals, there may be slight differences between products in terms of texture and colour, which is not a defect in the product. In any of the available finishes, the natural grain of the sand is visible and adds character to each piece.
