Marc Sweeney Ingot Stool

The Ingot Stool is a new offspring of Marc’s material- and process-led explorations, casting molten aluminium components by hand in open moulds to construct a work of shimmering, graphic beauty and also heft. The four legs of the stool are connected to the seat with pleasing plug cast rivets. A single melt-and-pour provides a grip around the pre-cast plugs to hold them in place. It’s a genius process and detail. The stool gives a gentle sonorous jangle when picked-up, which lends a jolt of character to the brutalist beast.
