Iron casting is produced by casting and cooling cast iron using gravity, pressure, centrifugal force or the like on a metal lump or sand mold capable of withstanding hot dregs of 1500 degrees or more. In November 2016, BKID launched a living brand ‘M’ made of castings with DSM (Daehan Special Metal)

​

BKID launched Matter & Matter, which utilizes upcycle timber in 2010, to create a living story and brand using recycled materials that have not been widely used. Based on its design / branding know-how, We are engaged in the design and branding of ‘M’ series of living brand utilizing casting materials based on the technology of Daehan Special Metal which is making over-casting. Through the equal collaboration between the design studio and the manufacturer, we are pursuing the popularization of living products utilizing casting (cast iron), which is a little unfamiliar living material, at the middle stage between craft and design.
