Working the aluminium casting in Burkina Faso is something magical. Take an oven dug into the ground, a blower activated by a bicycle wheel, some charcoal and the aluminium will melt. Meanwhile, wood frames host the cooking pot models buried into the pressed sand, creating the future mould. Aluminium is cast and the magic happens. Once extracted from the sand, the cooking pots and the knife's handles are piled up on the side of the road to find a buyer.

It is the playful aspect and the handmade dimension of this production that we wanted to highlight through the process we’ve imagined: the table top is drawn in the sand, then a wood template of the leg sink by four times into the sand, more or less deeper, creating, step by step the mould of a new table.

Without measuring, just by feeling, we create an object with this charming imprecision that would be impossible with an industrial process. Few minutes later, the table emerges from the sand. A little and light aluminium table, cousin of the little and massive wood piece of furniture which is of many uses and occupies every courtyard of Ouagadougou.
