Copper Plated Steel with Leaves Textures obtained with Burnished and Coppered Patinas.
Made from a gem-shaped volume in copper-plated steel – inspired by the prismatic structures of metallic minerals – the Leafprint Side Table embodies the timeless dialogue between the fleeting nature of the organic world and the enduring essence of inorganic matter.
The plant world is rich in tannins, natural compounds that react with metals to form oxides and surface patinas. Real leaves and underwood plant fragments are immersed in tannin-based solutions and oxidizing agents to accelerate and control natural oxidation, interacting with the metal to create one-of-a-kind textures and patinas with organic, ever-changing hues.
The mirrored copper surfaces, marked by organic imprints, play with light and depth, producing a dynamic effect that shifts with the gaze and the surrounding environment.
