I had the pleasure of working on several of Aviary's service pieces as well as some ice molds at Crucial detail. I worked for the master of design Martin Kastner and a few of his highly skilled crew. Martin brought to Alinea (and the dining world for that matter) things that no one had ever dreamed of. Gorgeous functional service pieces built by hand. Working there was a combination of ceramics and wood-shop an experience i will never forget. Thank you, Martin and Thomas for letting me be apart of this project.
One of the many ice molds
Each pin was carefully placed into the mold to allow the liquid to drain through, and ready the mold to be re-casted
2,000+ pins later the mold was ready
After the CNC did its magic
Each porthole was to be sanded and toasted to achieve a smooth base
A prototype of the "porthole"
Because each piece is custom designed they must be casted using plaster and slip
Each plaster mold is smoothed out to prevent any chance of factors
Firing the "cups"
