Black Iron

Our fifth release of Black Box limited edition ghosts is hand forged in black iron.

The edition size is 24. The ghosts are made using a very old sand casting process; molten iron is poured into sand moulds, giving a unique hand forged finish. Each ghost is then coated in oil and furnace-heated to ‘blacken’ the oil. The process is repeated twice to form a rustic and durable matte black surface. It’s the same technique that was used to make the black iron pots that would hang above the range or fire in kitchens before kitchen stoves were invented.

There’s a cold weight and timeless quality in these ghosts, to hold one is like holding an object from another era.
