The Center of Things

The concept of the “center” is a concept of importance.

Let’s get technical.

The center of gravity determines the stability of a structure, and in space, an object rotates about the center of gravity.

Let’s get political.

The center of power locates the political, economic and even the cultural source of influence. It also represents in spatial terms the proximity to power.

All of these factors are rolled up into why the center piece of our tables are so critical.

Depending on the event, the choice of the center piece can be a source of significant contention and pride.

A beautifully casted center piece will pull people to the table. It will also imbue significance to the things closest to it.

So, whether on the; coffee table, dining table, wedding table or any table, the right center piece can make all the difference.

Unique Sand Casting could be your partner to bring your creativity, and new “centers of gravity” to life in your home or where ever tables exist.

 

Let’s Cast Away

The words casting and foundry conjure images of massive items used in the production and manufacturing space. However, there are many everyday items that had their birth through the delight craft of casting and the technical experience of foundry.

Let me take you through your house, I bet I can find some really cool examples.

First, I knock at your door!

USC-Open-Business-Canada

Your door is that beautiful dark stained wood door with metal inserts and double pane glass. That detailed and elegant execution is an example of casting.

As I step into your home, I see the beauty of the inside with the warm photos and the warm lights. But look! Those lights are sitting and hanging from intricately casted fittings.

You kindly, invite me to stay for dinner and you break out those amazing candle holders.

The detailing on those candles have officially changed what comes to mind now when I hear casting.

What’s in a name?

What’s in a name? Would a rose smell any less sweet if it were called … violet? That’s deeply philosophical and food for thought. But for us, a name is everything.

For us, name is nature and essence.

Unique Sand Casting is what and who we are. The easy part – we do sand casting! Yep – you win a prize. But do you know what sand casting is? In short, sand casting is using a mould made of sand to shape a molten metal. Pretty cool – or rather hot stuff!

Now to the unique.

We are unique in what we do, how we do it and who we do it for. That’s called a hattrick.
