Abstract
A composite material comprising an open pore rigid foam of ceramic, metal, carbon or a plastics material and a solid filler material disposed in the cavities of the foam. The solid filler material forms areas on the surface of the composite material defined by the walls of the cavities in the foam. Depending on the material of the foam, the material filling its cavities may be a metal or a plastics material. The composite material, the production of which is also described, has aesthetic qualities which render it particularly suitable for the production of decorative articles.
