GRAIN FAMILY

GRAIN FAMILY

What was meant as a warning from our fabricator in L.A. – that occasionally a trace of wood grain from the tool used in metal spinning could be seen in finished parts – became the focal point of our Grain Family. We invented a process to celebrate this tooling mark. Working with a patternmaker, we create custom molds from maple boards, and sandblast them to raise the wood grain. They're then spun on a lathe at the same speed as a flat sheet of aluminum, which forms around the mold to create a metal shade. After each run of 25 parts the mold is sandblasted again, exposing fresh grain and slowly eroding the wood tool. 

GRAIN PENDANT 13

The aluminum shade of our Grain Pendants is formed over a wooden mold that has been sandblasted to raise the wood grain. Through the metal spinning process, real wood grain is impressed on the finished pendant, creating a shade that is both organic in feel and modern in look.

GRAIN DRUM 25

Using a method similar to how drums are made, we cut one long board of maple into pie shaped wedges to create the hollow mold for our larger Grain Drums.

Illuminated by three bulbs concealed under a wood grain reflector, the view from below a Grain Drum is reminiscent of standing under an eclipse. 

The book matched grain on the interior of the Drum provides the amazing impression of the lifespan of a tree.
