Raindrops Bronze Casting Table is designed by Time & Style edition with hand-polished bronze fusion base, available in natural satin or black oxidized finish; top in solid snow white or grey charcoal-stained oak, finished with transparent water-based or solvent-based coating otherwise in marble treated with water repellent products or finished with matt polyester.
The city of Takaoka, nestled in the picturesque Toyama Prefecture, embodies a history that spans over four centuries as a vital hub in the production of high-quality cast metals, including copper, brass, and iron. This tradition, encompassing both the casting of ancient tools and Buddhist statues and the creation of components for industry and contemporary artwork, has evolved over time into a symbol of unparalleled craftsmanship. The intricate steps of the metal casting process, ranging from pattern conception to casting itself, to finishing and coloring, are passed down by generations of skilled artisans who demonstrate their expertise in each phase, generating timeless aesthetic beauty.
The new Raindrops Bronze Casting Table emerges from the fusion of Takaoka's ancient casting techniques and the meticulous precision of contemporary artisans, giving rise to a work that embodies both mastery and modern design, made possible only by masters of the craft like those in this city.
The bronze base, skillfully shaped thanks to the unique malleability of this material and decades of accumulated experience, evokes the image of a raindrop dancing downward from the wide table support. The form, starting from the base, gently tapers upwards into an elegant neck that seamlessly merges with the lower part, creating an enveloping and suggestive image of a drop in free fall. The harmony between the organic shape of the top and the sturdiness of the base lends the entire table a strong and decisive presence, while maintaining a light and refined appearance. Additionally, the perfect centering of the base is the result of balanced weight, impeccable stability, and the stainless resilience of the cast metal. The generous dimensions of the table allow for accommodating numerous chairs, while the option to choose between round or oval tops in Hokkaido oak enables versatile and customized configurations.
