Object history
This object is made from 'Granby Rock'. Granby Rock was designed in collaboration with Will Shannon. As the houses in the Granby Four Streets were refurbished, discarded material were picked from skips and given a new life cast into mantle pieces and other products for the home.

Red, and yellow brick, slate and stone are cast with sand, pigmented cement and aggregate and then ground and polished, creating a highly decorative surface speckled with rubble.
