All'inizio ‒ sculptural objects
A touch of light
A disk of brass, seemingly floating in front of the wall. A quiet presence. A new sunrise, every day — a subtle symbol of renewal and light.
For thousands of years, the sun has represented energy, vitality, and life across many cultures. It influences our mood, supports our well-being, and makes life on Earth possible.
But here, the sun is reimagined — not as a bold emblem, but as a gentle, atmospheric shimmer. A quiet radiance, especially in the dark months of winter, where even a whisper of light can bring warmth and magic. Hand-polished, the surface catches the faintest light, even at dusk.
Each disk is precision-cut using a water jet, then carefully ground and smoothed by hand. Not only is the face prepared for polishing — the outer edge, too, is gently refined to remove cutting marks without disrupting the perfect circle.
On the reverse, two brass brackets are soldered on. They serve both as mounting elements and to create the signature floating distance from the wall. This step demands particular care, as the brass must not warp under the heat of the soldering process.
Finally, a multi-step polishing process brings the brass to a radiant sheen. A fine layer of wax from the polishing compound provides initial protection against tarnish — but no synthetic coating is applied. A lacquer would only conceal the surface under a plastic-like film, aging poorly and becoming brittle over time.
Instead, the brass is left free to develop its own natural patina — a soft, evolving glow that speaks of time. If desired, the original high shine can easily be restored with a gentle brass polish.
