Editor's Choice: Stunning Furniture of Wood and cast Aluminum

I admit. I have been a wee bit disappointed with what I've seen from the Milan Furniture fair so far. Just rehash of old ideas. Yaaaawn... And then I stumbled upon designer Hilla Shamia's brilliant work, and I surrendered!

I think these benches, stools and tables are just magnificent, combining wood and cast aluminum to stunning and unique pieces of furniture. Looking good both indoors and out. THIS I want!

Below are two images of the design process, where melted aluminum is pored into and cast around the wood. All images from Shamia's website. 

If you are in Milan, this is where you'll find her work. CREATIVE LIVING Lisbeth Williams @ Williams Design
