Copper Plated Steel with Leaves Textures obtained with Burnished and Coppered Patinas.
A trio of mirrored metal objects, seemingly imprinted by a long stay in the forest and shrouded in ancestral mystery, embodies the timeless dialogue between the fleeting nature of the organic world and the apparent eternity of inorganic matter.
The shapes of the collection draw inspiration from the prismatic structures of metallic minerals, and the finish is born from an experimental process in which metal enters into dialogue with nature through oxidation processes.
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 surrounding environment.

In dialogue with architects, designers and collectors, we shape bespoke pieces — where matter becomes language and creation is always a shared exploration.
