The range of metals. The patina of time.
Author: Archea Associati | Marco Casamonti
Material with a new, natural identity. The snapshot of a metamorphosis.
Calibrating the desired grade of browning, the quantity and arrangement of the rust traces, stains and abrasions, the exceptional colours of the metals are brought to life thanks to the properties of ceramic, used to launch a collection of elegant and modern surface finishes. Representing the material state in which the perfect grade of metallic oxidation is reached, “Metamorfosi” achieves an aesthetic result that the author – appropriately – defines as the visual transfiguration of the “patina of time”.
«Sometimes you have to halt time at the moment when the patina becomes perfect. But to do this, we must have the technological skill to fix the instant we are seeking.» Marco Casamonti
