Cast Earth U Pendant | Nongzao
This distinctive pendant by Nongzao takes cues from traditional industrial casting moulds, reimagined through an organic lens. Made from cast diatomaceous earth blended with natural metallic minerals, it transforms excavated soil often discarded during construction into a functional and refined piece for contemporary interiors.
Part of Nongzao’s Raw Collection, the pendant embodies a low-impact approach to design. The unfired, additive-free process preserves the soil’s natural warmth and texture while significantly reducing energy use. The ribbed form adds a modern sculptural element, and its wide shade offers a soft, ambient downlight ideal above a dining table or beside the bed. This piece is both a thoughtful use of material and a quiet reminder of the value in what we so often overlook.
