2024__Metalique__Bookshelf Collectible Design
Metalique explores the unrepeatable through subtraction.
The hand-turning process becomes both element and tool of narration, passage, and transformation.
The return to the artisanal roots of this ancient decorative technique offers the opportunity to explore a relationship with production whose rhythms are marked by manual dexterity.
Metalique strips the material of its original form with the aim of discovering beauty in absence.
The products of the collection are characterized by absolute uniqueness as they are the result of human labor and processes not entirely controlled. The turned legs appear both firm and dynamic simultaneously, in a play of light that emphasizes the material's profile. The remnants, aluminum shavings left behind during the process, take on their own individuality as remnants of a unified body, laid at its feet.
