Luxury Design & Craftsmanship Summit 2019: Discover The Live Showcases
The Luxury Design & Craftsmanship Summit is coming and this year it’s going to have some of the most impressive showcases of live craftsmanship work, where master artisans will demonstrate their crafts and how they make unique luxury design! Today we have for you some of these amazing techniques that will be in this Second edition of the LDCSummit!
Metal Casting
The art of casting metals into a chosen shape and size. The process starts by melting metal into a liquid, pouring it in a mould with a cavity of the desired shape, and removing the material, or casting after the final work gets cool and then solidified. The solidified part can be ejected or even broken out of the mould. This technique is one of the most used for making intricate forms that would be difficult to have from other methods. Perfect for luxury design creations.
Wood Carving
From its natural look and textures to highly polished and coloured versions, wood has always been easily accessible and relatively easy to manipulate, attracting the interest of artists and designers over the years. Adding details to a piece can be performed thru different wood carving styles and techniques, such as pattern, blocking, detailing, surfacing, or smoothening.
