Slag, a complex mineral secondary product from the metal industry, is typically used in linear construction applications.

ABOUT SLAG presents objects that illustrate alternative and circular uses of slag by incorporating the material into various craft and industrial settings through the use of a slag-based glass mass.

This process not only transforms the abstract secondary product into a craftable, aesthetically controllable and circular state, but also substitutes key glass chemicals, saving precious resources and energy during production.

Bio
