Pasto Bench

Description

A sculptural furniture collection cast in aluminum using native Pampas grasses as lost molds.

Rooted in Argentina’s landscape and cultural heritage, PASTO transforms wild, non-commercial grasses—like “Cebadilla Criolla”—into functional forms. Each piece begins with dried grass, meticulously arranged and buried in earth to create a mold that disintegrates as molten aluminum fills its void.

The result: enduring artifacts that embody a fleeting natural form, bridging nature and industry. PASTO is a meditation on permanence, place, and the overlooked beauty of our environment—where the organic becomes eternal.
