Wood Casting by Hilla Shamia

Wood Casting by Hilla Shamia:

The furniture by Israeli artist and product designer Hilla Shamia has a raw beauty of an artificially laminated conglomerate. Pouring molten aluminum on wood creates scarred carbon junctions, accentuating the incompatibility between the materials, while the aluminum will have to accept the shape of the wood and adapt to it. The overall structures are shaped or constrained into slim rectilinear shapes, emphasizing an intentional force of human intervention over nature. The “business end” of each piece is always wood, which is the physical interface for human touch,  while the structural constraints are made of metal. Shamia’s preferred choice of wood is cypress or eucalyptus.
