SAND CAST
FUSIONE IN TERRA
SAND
CASTING
The models of this chandelier were initially created
in wood and then realized the first models in brass.
The casting technique used is Sand Casting.
Casting process in which the mould is created in the
sand using a model, the same as the object to be
reproduced. The mould is made in the sand and it
is obtained from the model divided into two halves
which are placed on two floors, each surrounded by
a bracket-container filled with sand, well pressed
around the model. From this mould we have to
remove the two halves of the sample. The bracket-
containers will be perfectly joined together and
the fused brass will be poured into them through
the pouring channel. With this processwe get the
article required.
Arizzi to realize this chandelier is inspired by
the historical period “Carlton” King George
IV apponited architect John Nash to transform
Buckingham House in Buckingham Palace in a real
Royal Palace. Many pieces of furniture including
the magnificent brass chandeliers with crystals,
were taken by Carlton House, the London house of
George IV before being crowned King.
