For her first New York City show, up-and-coming gallerist Emma Scully commissioned eight disparate voices across the world to digitally design exclusive pieces of furniture, lighting and decor, with two caveats: the pieces would only be produced using cast iron and the production would be handled by Scully herself with the help of the O.K Foundry – a fourth-generation foundry in Virginia.

By materializing digital files into cast iron – the quintessential symbol of the 19th-century industrial revolution – Emma marries the material origins of industrial making to the current digital hyper-connectivity of design ideas.

The Cast Iron collection is presented in a quintessential Upper East Side art gallery which Emma reimagined with the help of Brooklyn-based studio Wallpaper Projects, who applied their Patina Study N1 on the primary gallery wall, creating an intriguing conversation between the objects and their surrounding environment.
