OBJ-10 ESTABLISHES A DIALOGUE OF CONTRASTS. ITS DESIGN ORIGINATES IN THE DOORS, TWO SYMMETRICAL RECTANGLES THAT, WHEN HAMMERED IN THEIR CENTRAL AREA, DEFORM TO CREATE AN OPENING: A SLIT THAT INVITES YOU TO SLIDE YOUR HAND AND DISCOVER ITS INTERIOR. THIS DESIGN GESTURE CREATES A POINT OF TENSION BETWEEN THE GEOMETRIC AND THE ORGANIC, HIGHLIGHTING THE TRANSFORMATION OF COPPER THROUGH HUMAN MANIPULATION.

THE CABINET IS A MONO-MATERIAL PIECE OF COPPER, BOTH ON THE OUTSIDE AND INSIDE. THE EXTERNAL SURFACE RETAINS THE RAW FINISH OF THE COPPER, ALLOWING THE MARKS OF THE PRODUCTION PROCESS, THE HEAT OF THE FIRE AND THE ARTISAN’S FINGERPRINTS TO EXPRESS THEMSELVES. IN CONTRAST, THE MIRROR-POLISHED INTERIOR REVEALS A GLINT OF COPPER IN ITS PUREST STATE, OFFERING A DUALITY BETWEEN RAWNESS AND PRECISION.
