LAMP TB-003

Bronze
Wax dipping & lost wax casting

Presented for the first time at Collectible 2020, these 3 bronze lamps are part of the on-going ‘Wax on/Wax off series’. These series are a collection of experiments of lost-wax casting and wax-dipping processes. The wax dipping is done with a self-made machine called TONK. TONK, a machine based on the old technique of candle dipping, was created to explore shapes and forms through a new medium. When combining the machine with the lost wax casting technique, a unique piece is produced every single time.
