Celebrating a Classic

 

This autumn marks the 15th anniversary of The High Stool - Aluminum edition. The original wooden version, designed by Space Copenhagen, has become a new Danish classic and is widely known around the world. But the lesser-known aluminum version has an interesting craft and sustainability story to tell.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Seventy percent of the aluminum used for the high stool comes from recycled old pipes, tubing, and other aluminum waste. The aluminum scraps are melted and mixed with thirty percent new material to obtain a clear silvery expression.

 

The High Stools are handcrafted in India by skilled craftspeople who practice the ancient technique of sand casting. Sand casting is a traditional metal casting process characterised by the use of sand as the moulding form. Hard-packed sand is sculpted around a model. When the model is removed, it creates a hollow form that can be filled with melted aluminum.

With this production method discarded metal scraps can be transformed into extraordinarily design pieces.
