Collections
Two bodies of sculptural furniture, one shaped by fire and one by erosion. Every piece is unique and made by hand.
Collection I · 6 pieces
Ustio
Fire as process. Burned steel on mineral bases.
Ustio takes its name from the Latin ustio, the act of burning. Not as metaphor, but as method. Each piece is the direct result of fire applied to steel: plasma-cut edges left raw and open, controlled heat that oxidises the surface, chromatic shifts of blue, violet and amber that emerge from thermal stress and cannot be replicated. The marks are not applied. They are produced.

Aetna
Patient subtraction. Sand, ash and rubble, carved by hand.
Aetna begins with a question about time: what objects look like when form is not imposed but extracted. Each piece starts as a strict architectural archetype, a chair, a table, a stool, then is carved, chipped, pierced and eroded by hand until it oscillates between construction and ruin.
