Pan

Designer: Rickard Whittingham

Materials: Cast iron, brass

This time a 1:50 scale sitting brass man finds himself soldered to an American made cast iron frying pan.

The man watching food being fried is a little sinister, but over time as the pan is seasoned through use, the brass man too picks up the finish and scars of what is happening around him.

There are any number of potential stories to be projected on to a product where a figure both watches a function take place and over time becomes more part of the product.

The pan is by Lodge Cast Iron. Lodge opened his first foundry in 1896 in the town of South Pittsburg, Tennessee. Via a commitment to quality and a willingness to embrace advances in technology, Lodge Cast Iron continue to make cookware products in South Pittsburgh.

The ‘Pan’ was produced in an edition of 2 and first shown at the International Contemporary Furniture Fair (ICFF) 2016 New York City.
