Making the Melina fitting - Investment 'lost wax' casting
Our Melina pendant lights involve using a new making process for us – metal casting – to create the bronze fittings. When Mentsen designed the Melina, they found a fantastic UK company who are skilled in the manufacturing process of investment casting (also called ‘lost wax casting’) and they let us come and watch the process in action. It’s amazing to see the way the process works, a more high-tech version of a technique that has existed for thousands of years!
