Molten Metal Meets Wood to Create One of a Kind Furniture

by twistedsifter

 

Product designer Hilla Shamia combined molten aluminum with wood to create a fascinating series of furniture where the molten metal not only seeps into the porous wood but also slightly chars the points of contact between the two materials.

You can see more images and process shots of the project on Hilla’s official website.
