Wind Panel VI — Resin
The making brings together mold work, resin fabrication and specialty finishing. Workshop views follow the mold at the bench and the surface through reflective layers and color application in the coating booth. The geometry demands control across both exposed ridges and sheltered recesses; an even result depends on preparation and coating that respond to those changing angles. The production images and footage connect those practical stages with the finished surface, showing how the character of the work emerges through the relationship between form, reflection and color.
Levitaz Coffee Table — Resin
The production photographs follow construction and refinement of the form, mold work, surface preparation and the white finish. Deep folds make access and consistency important throughout the process; the recessed transitions need as much attention as the open surfaces. The sequence brings that handwork into view, from the workshop stages that establish the shape to the preparation needed for a clean coating. The finish depends on what lies beneath it: careful refinement allows light to travel across the form without distracting irregularities. Workshop footage adds a closer view of the making.
Levitaz Coffee Table — Bronze
The workshop sequence follows foundry molds, separate cast components, joining and progressive surface preparation. The technical demand lies in bringing those components together without interrupting the folds: a join needs to disappear into the surrounding geometry, while the edges and transitions retain their definition. Assembly and careful finishing bring the cast sections into a coherent surface before polishing develops the final reflection. The production photographs document that passage from individual parts to a finished table; the resin version presents a separate material approach to the same design.
Cubus Spiralis — Stainless Steel
This is a fabrication project, built by fitting and welding shaped metal components. The workshop photographs follow those sections through assembly, joint work and surface preparation. The central demand is to carry the twist cleanly across every connection: alignment establishes the overall geometry, while refinement of the welds brings the separate parts into visual continuity. Polishing then develops the reflective finish. Together, the construction sequence and finished views show why the quality of the final reflection depends on the care given to the surface well before the last polishing stage.
Levitaz Armchair — Bronze
Casting establishes the components; assembly and welding bring them together; detailed surface work resolves the transitions. The production sequence shows separate bronze parts, preparation of their surfaces and work on the assembled chair, followed by close polishing. The demanding part of this geometry is continuity: seams and tool marks must be worked back without flattening a ridge or softening the character of a fold. The photographs and workshop footage trace that careful progression, from individual cast elements to a unified reflective surface.
Rock Table — Cast Stainless Steel
The production story begins with a printed model and continues through separate cast metal components, assembly and detailed surface work. Retaining the character of the facets is the central finishing challenge: broad planes need an even surface, edges need definition, and recessed areas require access that the outer faces do not. The workshop sequence documents those parts being brought together and worked towards the final finish. Casting makes the complex form possible; careful assembly and polishing make its geometry readable. This case study focuses exclusively on the stainless-steel piece.
Spectra Wall Panel — Resin
The production sequence follows printed resin components at the workbench, hands-on surface preparation, coating and finishing. Closely spaced details create a particular demand: each recess and raised edge needs attention without losing the definition that gives the panel its character. Preparation therefore has to resolve both the broad shape and the smaller transitions before the coating can do its work. The workshop images make that progression visible, connecting the raw resin form with the resolved surface. Spectra shows how digital complexity and practical hand finishing meet in a single piece.
