I’m casting the first in a series of bronze vessels today (or attempting to at least). Whilst things are heating up (figuratively and literally) I thought I’d make a start with patination samples. These both started out as standard gold silicone bronze. #patina #patination #bronze #casting #metal #foundry #metalcasting #abstractart #design #metalwork #artoftheday #samples #woodworking #woodwork #sculpt #sculpture
I decided to continue with this one, it’s definitely going to brighten up the boring white workshop walls . . . . . #abstract #abstractart #abstractartist #abstractarts #abstracted #abstractexpressionism #abstractexpressionist #abstraction #abstractors #abstractpainting #pollock #drip #jacksonpollock #artistsoninstagram #instaart #colourpop #design #interiordesign #contemporaryart

A small abstract I cast earlier in the week (lostwax). Details came out very well in this particular case. 11” x 4.5” #sculptureoftheday #artistsoninstagram #artoninstagram #sculpture #casting #foundry #molten #metal #lostwax #artanddesign #ornamental #carving #contemporaryart #modernart #moderna #interiordesign #krislamba #decor #design #crafting #craft
RV2 or ‘Window’ as the modified bronze version has become known is almost ready for patination. It is going to be treated with a high concentration of silver nitrate (I’ll post a sample later today) and then will be rubbed though in certain places to reveal bronze underneath. The chair looks super thin but it is actually a gradual thickness taper from 10mm, which gives strength with a delicate appearance. #chairdesign #sculptural #contemporaryart #contemporarydesign #modernart #art #design #dezeen #interiors #interiorinspiration #chair #chairs #metal #heavymetal #bronze #casting #patina #furnitureart #decor #crafts #craft #crafting #krislamba #traditionalart @dezeen @gallery_fumi
Me and @petitecuriouser were in the Highlands over the weekend. Mostly so I could work on the patination of my bronze RV2. As usual we crammed a lot in and headed up the ski slopes at Aviemore. This was taken on a frozen Loch on the way up 🤘 #highlands #hittheslopes #skii #frozenfun #frozenplanet #coldoutside #coldasfuck #arttrip #artistsoninstagram #artofinstagram #naturalworld #naturalbeauty #oldmanwinter #krislamba #artanddesign #furnituredesign #woodwork #sculpting

Abstraction 1 (side table) looking rather natty in the window at the Urs Von Unger Gallery in Gstaad. We are about to start work on the next piece in the Abstraction series and will be sharing a lot about the making process.

**INSTAGRAM AUCTION** Firstly, HNY 2018 to each and everyone of you! I figured I’d start the year of with a bang and try something completely new. I’m going to auction off a new RV1 chair. It’s a rather special one as it is one of my original 2 artist proofs. These are never usually for sale. The RV1 is an edition of 25 and the current n. retails for £15,000 on 1st Dibs and more through our gallery. This is a chance for a really great saving. Please, PM me your bids. This will be a SILENT AUCTION and the highest bidder after 30 days wins. All bids will be acknowledged and the winner will be notified and given the chance to remain anonymous. You can read more about this carbon fibre chair on my website. Please reggram (re-grammars will receive a shout out) and tell your friends! #giveaway #auction #artanddesign #designed #chairs #decor #interiors #interiör #interiorinspiration #artbasel #artinspiration #britishdesign #bestofday #2018 #contemporarydesign #newfashion #trendsetters #modernart #carbonfiber #chairart #victoriaandalbert #moma #krislamba #rv1
They say things aren’t made the way they used to be, and in this case is absolutely true! I needed a large bed pneumatic sander to get some laser flatness, and rather than buy the usual Chinese offering, opted for this NOS @chicago_pneumatic sander. Made in 1973 and built to last. It had never been used and worked perfectly first time. Very cool styling too. #tools #toolsofthetrade #powertools #airtools #sanders #vintagetools #luckyfind #workshops #studiolife #artanddesign #sculpture #furniture #art #contemporarydesign #modernart
And the polishing goes on, and on, and on... simple shapes are always the hardest to get spot on. There nowhere to hide any mistakes! #contemporaryart #modernart #bronzed #mirrors #design #interiordesign #interiors #chairs #sit #metalart #metallife #polishing #artanddesign #furnitureisart #livingroomdecor #moderndesign #crafts #traditionalart #crafting #patina
It’s not everyday I make something that I really really want to keep, but this RV2 in solid bronze (revised design from the carbon version) is absolutely one of them. I’m working with the venerable Farquhar at Black Isle Bronze and after the inside is mirror polished we will patinate the outside face. #bronze #casting #foundry #krislamba #contemporaryart #modernart #design #interiordesign #interiors #chairs #sit #metalart #metallife #polishing #artanddesign #furnitureisart #livingroomdecor #moderndesign #crafts #traditionalart #crafting
A shiny new RV1 chair awaiting a new home! This one is in midnight black with a gloss carbon interior. It’s yet to have its final wet-sand and polish. #carbonfiber #carbon #chairdesign #chair #curvesfordays #curvesaresexy #blackart #krislamba #designing #designlife #crafts #crafting #contemporary #art #sculpture #artanddesign #modernart #resin #resininfusion #infusion #prepreg #sanding #luxury #interiors #designinspiration
WIP shot of Abstraction 1 - side table that we exhibited this summer. We are about to start work on Abstraction 3 and will be using a new technique for its production (which we will be filming for anyone interested). This piece pictured here showcases 3 different gilding techniques and took well over 100 hours just to leaf. #goldleaf #gold #gild #gilding #abstractart #abstract #originsproject #krislamba #wip #workinprogress #sculpture #furnituredesign #modernart #contemporaryart #contemporarydesign #interiors #craft #crafting #woodwork #sculpting #casting #metal #foundry #abstractpainting
If there’s one tip I’d like to share, it’s to always have a small notebook in your back pocket. Mine always ended up a crumpled mess so I’ve started to keep them in this beautiful Horween Chromexcel cover by @balabanoff_co . @wordnotebooks on the left and @clairefontaine_officiel on the right supplied by @pocketnotebooks #notebooks #designing #sketchbook #leather #chromexcel #horween #takenotes #ontheroad #handmade #madebyhand #artanddesign #crafting #crafts #madeinukraine #pocketnotebook
It is indeed the beginnings of a chair. This is a modified version of the RV2 which is amazingly going to be made from bronze. These pieces are just the pattern and will then be used in conjunction with a special type of casting. Very very accurate CNC cutting was required to ensure perfect curves. #design #artanddesign #cnc #chairs #curvesaresexy #curvesfordays #sit #art #sculpture #krislamba #designer #crafts #makers #maker #designermaker #madebyme #bronze #casting #sculpt #sculpting #sculpture #3d #fluidart #infinity #furnituredesign #contemporaryfurniture
What could these seemingly boring bits and pieces be all about??
