In a world where conformity often reigns, these meticulously hand-hammered artpieces are a testament to the beauty of embracing the untamed. Defying expectations with their organic shapes and unruly textures, the pieces showcase the artist’s laborious efforts in a harmonious balance of strength and sensitivity.
Despite the ruggedness of its surface, a surprising gentleness emanates from the artwork. Subtle details and the play of light caressing the metal’s contours reveal the artist's tender touch and dedication for the material.
The hand-hammering technique symbolizes passion and commitment, challenging our time defined by productivity and efficiency. Through a meticulous search for detail, the metal is hammered, deformed and textured by hand: this powerful act, difficult to control, gives each piece a unique pattern.

Although well known for its beautiful green patterns when polished and its uses as jewelry, Malachite is primarily a copper ore. In its natural form, this stone has an astonishing bubbly texture called ‘‘botryoidal’’, made of a multitude of round segments that clump together. To recreate this effect, sheets of metal were hammered by hand with a rounded hammer.
This Malachite chest is a reference to the world of preciousness and luxury for which malachite is often intended, as it is sometimes used to create refined jewelry boxes, elegant cabinets or luxurious interior designs.
