bronze
Bench
This limited edition masterpiece showcases the exploration of bronze as a medium.
The Bench adopts the elegant silhouette that defines the Contourline Collection and translates it into bronze, enhancing its unique and sculptural characteristics. Pushing the boundaries of traditional furniture-making, this design employs complex and innovative techniques to create a truly exceptional piece.
Bronze is associated with high value. The use of this material imparts the same sense of validity as when it is used in sculpture and architecture. Historically, bronze statues have depicted gods across many civilizations, informing the distinguished perception of the material. The medium also impresses with its sustainable quality as it possesses exceptional longevity.

side table
Bronze allows for much finer and thinner designs, and more opportunity to experiment with texture through a process of patination. Embracing the inherent qualities of bronze, rather than resisting them, the collection masterfully juxtaposes the polished underside with the inviting tactility of the patina, showcasing both the versatility and enduring appeal of this remarkable material.
