Remolten

The design and production of a series of objects made of ‘remolten’, Chilean volcanic lava.

Chile has the second largest and most active chain of volcanoes in the world. Throughout the Chilean mainland, there are at least 2,000 volcanoes. This practical research project developed a physical parametric methodology (Paracrafting) for the production of objects in “Remolten” volcanic lava.
