The intention behind this project was to elevate the perceived value of Pewter by designing around the materials unique characteristics. Waste swarf from the spinning process is melted down and spun inside an Aluminium mould. The low melting point of the Pewter means it quickly cools to form a skin, which retains the molten textures of its once liquid state.

An edition of the bowl was commissioned as a gift to each world leader at the G20 summit, London 2009.
