Solid Wax Guéridon

For this experimental project around materiality, æquō introduced French designer Frédéric Imbert to the Dhokra community in Chattisgarh, known for their ancient lost-wax metal casting technique. After a period of research into the craft, which had captivated Imbert, the process in creating the guéridon began with an exploration of shape in his Paris studio. Imbert’s signature work is sculptural and solid and, unusually, he builds up his forms with matter, rather than carving into it.
