Metal and wood furniture by Hilla Shamia

This is a combination you are not used to seeing every day. Furniture artist Hilla Shamia has developed a unique process for pouring molten metal over carved tree trunks, resulting in amazing furniture.

To make this one-of-a-kind furniture, special molds are used to guide the liquid metal to perfectly fit the wooden parts. The metal doesn’t burn the wood but only charrs the edges. Since the metal gets into every crack of the wood, it seems as if they belong together naturally.

The end result simply takes your breath away.
