Size 150x120x20mm, 122 gr., 2014

concept

A kaleidoscopic carnival of influences and emotions, mixing man and machine by using the current tools of the Digital Age: advanced software design and production tools, combined with craftsmanship techniques, entwined with inspiration of New York Art Deco. The pieces play with light reflections bouncing and interacting on the skin’s surface, in a calculated balance where delicate seeks the raw. The chunkiness of the items is contrasted by their lightness: 3D printed polyurethane thermoplastic is treated with a copper finish which gives an industrial look but not its weight.
