Uranus Console
Alcarol > Console
As a suspended composition of Burled Poplar wood and transparent crystalline depth, this console transforms organic matter into a luminous sculptural presence inspired by celestial atmospheres and shifting perceptions of light. The intricate grain of the Burled Poplar — marked by knots, eyes, and unpredictable growth patterns — is enhanced through a verdigris pigmentation process that gives the wood an iridescent green radiance. Light continuously interacts with the surface, creating reflections that seem to move beneath the transparent volume, evoking the visual depth and ethereal tones of distant planetary landscapes. The transparent structure creates a seamless continuity between the legs and the top, allowing the material and crystalline depths to flow uninterrupted through the entire piece like a suspended bridge between solid matter and light. The live-edge slabs appear to float weightlessly while remaining connected in perfect equilibrium, amplifying the sensation of fluidity and suspended movement. More than a console, the piece becomes a contemplative object where nature, perception, and transparency merge into a continuous sculptural landscape.
CRYSTAL KARST Coffee Table
Alcarol > Coffee table
Born from the slow erosion of karst landscapes, where water patiently carves stone into hidden cavities and subterranean voids, this coffee table transforms geological time into a suspended object of contemplation. The porous surface of the Karst stone — shaped over millennia within the Dolomite mountains — reveals a natural topography of hollows, fractures, and mineral traces, preserving the silent memory of water’s movement through matter. Encased within a transparent, water-like resin, the stone appears suspended in a moment between solidity and dissolution, as if a fragment of landscape had been crystallized mid-transformation. The resin does not conceal the material, but amplifies its depth and organic complexity, preserving the tactile authenticity of the exposed section planes and the natural vibrancy of the stone. The table’s irregular geometry evokes an emerged terrain or an eroded island floating in stillness, a balance between weight and lightness, permanence and fragility. A fragment of geological memory suspended in space, a meditation on time, transformation, and the quiet poetry of the Earth.
ANCHOR III Side Table
Alcarol > Side table
Three ancient Venetian Bricola poles emerge side by side, their surfaces deeply sculpted by salt, tides, molluscs, and decades beneath the shifting waters of the lagoon. Wider and more expansive than the original Anchor Twist, this piece amplifies the dialogue between wood, light, and suspended fluidity, transforming three reclaimed fragments into a single sculptural landscape. The aquamarine resin flowing between the vertical forms evokes the hidden currents that once surrounded these maritime markers, preserving the underwater atmosphere of Venice within a crystallized volume. Air bubbles, reflections, and translucent depths become frozen traces of the lagoon itself, capturing the silent movement of water in a state of stillness. Each Bricola pole carries its own history of erosion and marine life, revealing textures impossible to reproduce: tunnels carved by molluscs, weathered grain, and natural fractures shaped by time. Together, the three elements create a rhythmic composition where solid oak and luminous resin alternate like islands emerging from water. More than a side table, the piece becomes a cross-section of the Venetian lagoon, a suspended fragment of submerged architecture where memory, water, and wood converge into a timeless balance between nature and transformation.
Uranus Table - Steel Legs Edition
Alcarol > Table
The Uranus Table _ Steel Legs Edition probes the boundary between perception and matter — a meditation on how what we see is shaped by the interplay of light, substance, and vision. At first glance, its materials resist recognition, as if pulled from another world. Yet it is born of Earth: two planks of Burled Poplar with live edges, mirrored and joined within a transparent medium. Their forms hover side by side without touching. The Burled Poplar reveals a sculpted grain of swirling knots and eyes — organic complexity that no human mind could predesign. Through a special finishing process infused with verdant oils, the wood’s natural holographic depth is magnified, giving it a green-tinted vibrancy reminiscent of Uranus itself. In shifting light, the surface seems to glow from within, rendering its material almost alien. Uranus Table_ Steel Legs Edition is not a celestial object, but a terrestrial one illuminated by the same mystery.

VULCANO Bookend
Alcarol > Styling
The Vulcano Bookends are conceived as solid volumes that encapsulate the moment lava encounters the surrounding sea. The porous stone, marked by abrupt cooling and internal fractures, is held within a transparent resin that evokes the enveloping presence of water. Like geological cross-sections of submarine formations, the cut surfaces reveal inner structures shaped by thermal contrast: voids, ruptures, and textures generated in the instant where heat is absorbed and transformed. The act of cutting exposes rather than defines — opening the material to reveal its hidden dynamics. Erosion and cooling, pressure and release: the pieces hold within them the memory of these opposing forces. The resin preserves this moment as a suspended environment, where density and fluidity coexist. Placed in space, they function as minimal architectural markers — delimiting and supporting, yet above all embodying a condition. Not simply objects, but fragments of a submerged landscape, where time, matter, and energy briefly reached equilibrium.
STROMBOLI Vase
Alcarol > Styling
The Stromboli vases recall the upward thrust of lava rising through water, abruptly halted and crystallized. Their compact forms suggest pressure and ascent, while the resin captures the boundary where molten matter met its cooling counterpart. Within each piece, a micro-geography unfolds: cavities formed by escaping gases, textures defined by sudden solidification, surfaces that speak of tension between fluidity and resistance. The transparency acts as a still body of water, through which the dense core is observed. Here, water and lava — elemental forces that shaped the conditions for life — converge once more, becoming a symbolic source of nourishment. The vessel is not only a container, but a site of continuity, where a plant or flower draws from this elemental memory, as if sustained by the very conditions that once made life possible. They stand as quiet presences, yet charged with latent energy — like submarine eruptions that continue unseen beneath the surface.
AEOLIE Coffee Table
Alcarol > Coffee table
The Aeolie Coffee Table evokes a volcanic formation emerging from the depths, where lava meets water and solidifies in suspended time. The stone retains the marks of rapid cooling — irregular, porous, alive with internal tension — while the transparent resin surrounds it like a liquid field, preserving the moment of contact. The surface appears to hover within this transparent volume, as if still immersed, while the bronzed steel base provides a subtle grounding — a horizon between seabed and open space. The object becomes a landscape shaped by opposing forces: a fragment of territory born underwater, where matter has found balance between expansion and containment.
Baku Coffee Table
Alcarol > Coffee table
This bespoke coffee table was created upon a client’s request for a very special project in Baku. It features natural wood branches encased in clear resin, combining organic textures with a modern aesthetic. Each piece is unique, reflecting the exclusivity of the project and the client’s vision.
STUMP Stool - Walnut
Alcarol > Stool
alcarol recovered a stunning walnut log and decided to cut it in two, in order to create a couple of stump stools. The two halves perfectly match, recreating the original log as it was found in the undergrowth of the Italian Dolomite mountains. The alcarol’s environmental cross-section allows to reveal the intimate essence of wood, hidden in the heart of the log. Natural bark surface is preserved with its native populations of plants, which are embedded in a resin resembling the water that generated their life. By filling the gaps with resin, alcarol achieves a new functionality with the poetic choice to freeze time at the end of the material’s cycle and giving it a new life before it goes to waste. The section planes – through touch, sight and olfaction of different materials – allow to transcend the ordinary perception of a place.
LEAFPRINT Trio
Alcarol > Coffee table
A trio of mirrored metal objects, seemingly imprinted by a long stay in the forest and shrouded in ancestral mystery, embodies the timeless dialogue between the fleeting nature of the organic world and the apparent eternity of inorganic matter. The shapes of the collection draw inspiration from the prismatic structures of metallic minerals, and the finish is born from an experimental process in which metal enters into dialogue with nature through oxidation processes. The plant world is rich in tannins, natural compounds that react with metals to form oxides and surface patinas. Real leaves and underwood plant fragments are immersed in tannin-based solutions and oxidizing agents to accelerate and control natural oxidation, interacting with the metal to create one-of-a-kind textures and patinas with organic, ever-changing hues. The mirrored copper surfaces, marked by organic imprints, play with light and depth, producing a dynamic effect that shifts with the gaze and surrounding environment.
LEAFPRINT Coffee Table C
Alcarol > Coffee table
Made from a gem-shaped volume in copper-plated steel – inspired by the prismatic structures of metallic minerals – the Leafprint Coffee Table embodies the timeless dialogue between the fleeting nature of the organic world and the enduring essence of inorganic matter. The plant world is rich in tannins, natural compounds that react with metals to form oxides and surface patinas. Real leaves and underwood plant fragments are immersed in tannin-based solutions and oxidizing agents to accelerate and control natural oxidation, interacting with the metal to create one-of-a-kind textures and patinas with organic, ever-changing hues.

ETNA Gem Lamp
Alcarol > Table lamp
The Etna Gem Lamp embodies the encounter of two primordial forces — fire and water — captured in luminous stillness. Produced with authentic lava rocks sourced from Mount Etna and encased in crystal-clear resin, it preserves the precise instant when molten magma met the sea during a submarine eruption. Half a million years ago, this underwater collision shaped the lava into fluid, organic forms — matter sculpted by the touch of water, frozen at the threshold between motion and calm. Within the transparent body, every stone retains the memory of that encounter, a relic of fire transformed by depth and pressure. A warm LED light emerges from the burnished steel base, filtering through the resin like sunlight beneath the sea. It reveals suspended air bubbles, glimmering like fragments of time, and evokes the quiet radiance of an underwater dawn. More than a lamp, the Etna Gem is a meditation on Earth’s origins — a luminous fragment where geology becomes poetry, and light reawakens the memory of creation.
ANCHOR Colorless Stool
Alcarol > Stool
alcarol’s main action is sectioning — cutting through matter and time to reveal what lies beneath. The very foundations of Venice rest upon thousands of oak poles, driven deep into the lagoon’s caranto layer — a compact mixture of clay and sand that has held the city for centuries. During their long immersion, these timbers are sculpted by Teredo Navalis, the small marine organisms that draw delicate constellations of holes across the surface, leaving the core intact. Their slow work traces the passage of life through wood, shaping a fragile equilibrium between erosion and endurance. When replaced by new poles, these wooden fragments — imbued with water, salt, and memory — become witnesses of a millennial sedimentation. For the creation of Anchor, alcarol dove into the canals of Venice to study this submerged world, capturing its essence through a section that freezes a living cross-section of the Lagoon. Through a patented process, the empty spaces carved by shipworms are filled with a transparent resin that embodies the very water in which the wood once lived. This still, crystalline layer arrests the flow of time, like a photograph in three dimensions — a solid water that preserves the traces of an underwater landscape unique in the world. Anchor is a fragment of Venice itself, shaped by the patient rhythm of tides and rendered eternal in its final, translucent layer.
RAPOLANO One Side Console
Alcarol > Console
Nestled in the Sienese hills, the town of Rapolano has long been a land where stone and water intertwine. Since ancient times, its thermal springs have drawn those in search of healing, while its travertine – shaped by centuries of mineral sedimentation – has served as a building material since the Etruscan era. Formed by the slow precipitation of carbonate minerals in underground waters, this unique travertine bears fibrous textures and earthy hues – from soft white to warm rust – that make it unlike any other in the world. Often found in caves and thermal basins, it carries within its veins the memory of flowing water and geological time. In collaboration with Vaselli, alcarol has salvaged timeworn fragments of this living stone, preserving its natural cavities with a transparent resin that recalls the thermal waters in which it once lay submerged. The Rapolano One Side Console is a sculptural flow. Rising vertically from the ground, unfolding in a single horizontal stretch, and returning once more to the earth, it traces a seamless path, like water shaping its course through stone. A continuous gesture where material, memory, and movement converge in one timeless form.
Venus Rectangular Dining Table
Alcarol > Table
The Venus Table explores perception — a reflection on how light, matter, and the eye assemble the experience of reality. At first glance, its materials defy familiarity, as if sourced from another world and suspended in weightless harmony. Yet the table is rooted on Earth: two mirrored Burled Poplar planks with organic live edges, joined and encased in a transparent medium. They extend toward each other without touching, supported by three crystalline pillars that pierce and elevate the surface in a seemingly inexplicable gesture. The Burled Poplar is a wood of rare natural deformity — its grain swirls in unpredictable knots and eyes. Through a special yellow-toned oil finish, the wood’s inherent holographic depth is magnified: under shifting light, it gleams with an otherworldly vitality, rendering its surface almost unrecognizable, suspended between familiar matter and celestial vision. The Venus Table is not a creation from space, but a terrestrial object imbued with cosmic resonance. It invites us to perceive the extraordinary hidden within the everyday, to glimpse our planet as if seen through another lens — reminding us that Nature’s marvels lie waiting in plain sight.
Mars Rectangular Dining Table
Alcarol > Table
The Mars Table is a meditation on perception — a reflection on how light, matter, and the human eye conspire to create the experience of reality. At first glance, its materials seem unrecognizable, as if gathered from another planet and assembled in zero gravity. Yet they belong entirely to Earth: two Burled Poplar planks, mirrored along their natural live edges, joined within a crystal-clear body that suspends them like fragments of floating terrain. Supported by three irregular transparent pillars that pierce and sustain the surface in apparent defiance of gravity, the composition evokes a vision of geological balance — matter held still at the edge of transformation. The Burled Poplar, whose grain grows in spontaneous deformation, reveals a pattern of swirling knots and eyes, unpredictable and alive. Through a special red-tinted oil finishing, its natural holographic depth is greatly amplified, turning the surface into a field of shimmering reflections. Under changing light, the wood vibrates between shadow and fire, appearing almost extraterrestrial — a material both familiar and unknown. Mars Table is not a table from another world, but a vision of this one — a reminder that the extraordinary already exists in the depths of the ordinary. It is an invitation to rediscover the terrestrial Eden we still inhabit, and to perceive the unseen poetry within the material world.
Velvet HORIZONS Pouf
Alcarol > Pouf
Horizons reflects on planetary geology and human perception — an abstraction of terrains both terrestrial and celestial, now softened into everyday form. In this version, the top surface is made of sumptuous velvet, its fibers catching and layering light with an intrinsic holographic effect. The velvet plays with incident rays, shimmering and shifting as shadows move. Beneath, soft recycled foam is enveloped in a thin shell of rubber infused with stone powder and real soils, giving each piece organic texture and color. The vertical sides echo geological stratigraphy from both Earth and imagined planets. Here, velvet becomes a luminous terrain: tactile, alive, and subtly transformative. Horizons Velvet invites you to experience the poetry of matter — where planetary reliefs meet the softness of skin and the dance of light.
CHIRON Screen
Alcarol > Screens
The Chiron Screen inhabits a space between revelation and concealment — a boundary where vision hesitates. Made of four Burled Maple planks with live edges, each is frozen in a crystal-clear medium, suspended in time. This opaque-transparency invites a subtle dance of light and shade: some parts are visible, others concealed. A viewer glimpses forms shifting through translucency — the screen becomes a whispered echo of perception itself. Infused with verdigris and oil, the wood’s holographic grain emerges under changing light, its unusual depth making the material appear uncanny, almost alien. Though terrestrial, the Chiron Screen acts as a veil between what is and what might be: a portal to reconsider how we see, conceal, and reveal.
WETLAND Console
Alcarol > Console
A wetland is an ecosystem rich in water — a place where, under certain conditions, organic materials such as wood can be preserved for millennia. In some alpine regions, ancient fossil deposits are found buried in riverbeds: trunks once swept away by currents and slowly covered by layers of sand and gravel. In their oxygen-poor rest, a semi-fossilization process begins. Subterranean waters bind minerals and iron with the wood’s tannins, naturally tinting it in tones that range from golden brown to deep black, where each grain becomes a chromatic landscape. The fossil wood used in this piece is an oak from the Iron Age, dated to the 5th century BCE by radiocarbon analysis — rediscovered and carefully dried after centuries of immersion. Like the water that once protected it, alcarol’s transparent resin embraces the ancient wood, preserving its uniqueness and allowing the eye to perceive its original energy. A transparent vertical pillar pierces and sustains the wooden surface, in an almost anti-gravitational gesture. This crystalline column becomes both structure and symbol — a luminous axis of equilibrium that links the weight of the past to the clarity of the present, transforming material memory into suspended light. The Wetland Console thus embodies the dialogue between permanence and transience — between what is buried and what endures, between water and time.
HORIZONS Pouf / Low Tables
Alcarol > Side table
Horizons is a reflection on Planetary Geology — the science that studies the internal structures and surfaces of celestial bodies such as planets and their moons. The prefix geo, usually tied to Earth, becomes here a bridge between worlds. Through abstraction, the project reveals how the geomorphologies of other planets often mirror our own — reminding us that the language of matter is universal. And yet, beyond this cosmic perspective, Horizons surprises us with an unexpected softness — a tactile and deeply human pleasure. he shapes of its reliefs originate from 3D models of selected areas of the Italian Alps, abstracted and blended with imagined planetary terrains. The vertical sides evoke the geological stratigraphy of the planets in our solar system, while the upper surface is made of soft Nubuck leather, inviting touch. Beneath lies recycled polyurethane foam, enveloped in a thin layer of soft rubber mixed with stone powder and real soil, giving each piece its own organic tone and texture — always unique, always alive. In Horizons, Earth and the cosmos meet in a single gesture — a landscape that invites rest, contemplation, and the rediscovery of what connects us to the universe.
SLOPE Armchair
Alcarol > Chair
Slope is a reflection on Planetary Geology, a science discipline concerned with the geology and internal structure of celestial bodies such as planets and their moons. The geo prefix typically indicates topics of or relating to our planet Earth, and this project aims to illustrate – through abstraction – how similar the geomorphologies of other planets can be. Finally surprising us with an unexpected softness, a completely human pleasure. The shapes of the reliefs derive from three-dimensional files of some areas of the Italian Alps, made more abstract and mixed with other planetary geologies. The vertical sides are an abstract representation of typical geological stratigraphies of the solar system planets, where the top surface is soft genuine leather, the lower part is recycled soft polyurethane foam, covered with a thin layer of soft rubber mixed with stone powder and real soils which make the colors and textures always unique and completely organic.
LAVA Side Table
Alcarol > Side table
The matter surface is the one that is normally revealed, but only by going deeper can we fully understand the processes and forces that generated it. Lava is molten rock that has been expelled from the interior of a planet onto its surface. Lava may have erupted on land or underwater. The word Lava comes from Italian and is probably derived from the Latin word labes, which means a fall. Lava stool is made of Lava rocks from the Etna volcano on the island of Sicily, Italy, one of the world’s most active volcanoes with eruptions occurring beneath the sea since about 500,000 years ago. During submarine eruptions, the molten magma meets the sea, and its violent encounter with water sculpts the rock into fluid, organic forms that seem to freeze movement itself. Each fragment thus carries within it the memory of that encounter — a fleeting instant of transformation made eternal. The rocks seem frozen and suspended in an infinite cosmic moment, like a sort of underwater cross section that has flung open the doors to this ancestral activity of the Universe, in all its majesty and wonder. Lava is a meditation on terrestrial matter with its gaze turned toward the cosmos, where time solidifies into stillness and energy becomes reflection. The natural stone surface is left uncovered, revealing the tactile power of the material — its density, its silent strength, its primordial warmth. Each fragment tells of the slow cooling of magma, the transformation of chaos into form, of fluid fire turned solid and eternal.
Ø GRAVITY Bookshelf
Alcarol > Cabinet
Ø Gravity is a self-supporting bookshelf that challenges conventions of form and balance. Its apparent instability hides a precise inner logic — a tensile system where dry joints, tempered glass, and Saint Andrew’s Cross cables combine to create multi-directional stability. With no screws, no glue, and no fixed hierarchy, the structure stands in a state of suspended clarity — a delicate equilibrium between gravity and intention. Books are held not in rigid alignment, but by the natural force of the Earth itself. Tilt the shelves, and gravity becomes a quiet ally: keeping volumes gently leaning, perfectly still, without the need for bookends. The carved wooden sides evoke the textured crusts of planets or meteorites, while dichroic steel tie rods shimmer with aerospace tones — making Ø Gravity feel less like a bookshelf and more like a satellite in orbit: weightless, precise, and poised in timeless suspension. It is not simply a piece of furniture, but a spatial gesture, a sculptural system where materials speak, gravity listens, and lightness becomes structure.
KARST GEM
Alcarol > Styling
Karst is a landscape born from the patient work of water — a slow dissolution that carves stone into voids, caves, and hidden rivers beneath the surface of the Earth. Over millennia, rain and time have sculpted the soluble rocks of the Italian Alps into delicate networks of hollows and veins, transforming erosion into an act of creation. From this ancient terrain, alcarol has collected fragments of authentic karst stone, some still bearing traces of mosses and lichens, witnesses of a living geology. Each fragment is preserved within a transparent, water-like volume, echoing the very element that shaped it. The result is a suspended landscape, a solid block of time in which water’s motion has become light. The geometric form — reminiscent of a cut gem — crystallizes the essence of the karst process itself: the transformation of fragility into permanence, of void into beauty. The gem becomes a metaphor for the Earth’s memory — a relic of matter purified by dissolution, where absence is as meaningful as substance. Karst Gem stands as both stool and sculpture, both artifact and meditation: a luminous monument to the quiet power of water and the slow poetry of geological time.
PLANET X Table
Alcarol > Table
Planet X Table is a reflection around human visual perception of Nature and Cosmos, a play with the process by which the physical energy received by sense organs forms the basis of perceptual experience. Planet X Table is a meditation on perception — an exploration of how the eye and mind translate the vastness of nature and the cosmos into tangible experience. Inspired by the hypothesis of an unseen planet orbiting in the far reaches of our solar system, Planet X evokes the mystery of distant matter suspended in space and time. At first glance, its materials seem unfamiliar, almost weightless — as if joined in zero gravity. In reality, the tabletop is crafted from two Burled Poplar planks, their live edges and swirling grain recalling planetary atmospheres. The two fragments merge within a crystal-clear medium, frozen like cosmic ice. Three transparent pillars pierce and support the circular top in apparent levitation, playing with light and refraction, concealing their structure within luminous, extraclear volumes. The result is an illusion of suspension — a fragment of our planet transformed into an object that feels extraterrestrial. The rare Burled Poplar, naturally deformed and richly figured, undergoes a special colored-oil finishing that amplifies its inherent holographic quality. This treatment reveals a vibrant, shifting depth — as if the wood itself were reflecting multiple dimensions of light — making the material almost unrecognizable, suspended between the organic and the cosmic. Between gravity and light, Planet X Table reveals the invisible — where earthly matter becomes a mirror of the universe, and perception transcends reality.
Chiron Table
Alcarol > Table
In astronomy, Chiron was first thought to be an asteroid, but it is in fact one of the most massive known periodic comets — a wandering body that orbits around Uranus, the green planet. Like its celestial namesake, the Chiron Table explores perception itself: the way light, matter, and the human eye collaborate to create what we call reality. At first glance, the materials seem unearthly, as if joined in zero gravity. Yet they are of this planet — two planks of Burled Poplar with organic live edges, joined and encased within a clear, luminous medium. Their forms stretch toward each other without ever touching, held in balance by three irregular transparent pillars that pierce and support them in a seemingly weightless gesture. The Burled Poplar — a wood whose grain grows in spontaneous, natural deformation — reveals a swirling, unpredictable pattern that no human hand could design. Through a special verdigris and oil finishing, the surface acquires a holographic radiance that amplifies the wood’s innate depth and fluidity. Under shifting light, its grain moves and breathes, as if alive, transforming the material into something almost unrecognizable — no longer mere wood, but a living reflection of light itself. Chiron is not a table of outer space, but a terrestrial one — a vision of our own planet seen as if from afar. It reminds us that the extraordinary already exists beneath our feet, waiting only to be perceived. It invites us to look deeper into the familiar, and to rediscover the wonder of what is real.
Moon Rectangular Dining Table
Alcarol > Table
The Moon Table explores perception and light — how our senses transform raw matter into meaning. At first glance, materials appear alien, joined in weightless harmony; yet the table is firmly of Earth. Two mirrored Burled Poplar planks with live edges stretch toward one another, encased in a luminous medium like frozen lunar frost. Four transparent pillars float through the surface, supporting the top in an enigmatic suspension. The Burled Poplar is a wood of peculiar deformities — swirling eyes and knots growing in unpredictable patterns. Through a special verdigris and oil finishing, its innate holographic depth is magnified, casting the grain in shifting luminescence that defies recognition. Under varied light, the surface seems to breathe — transforming wood into a material both familiar and cosmic. Moon Table is not a manifestation of fantasy, but a terrestrial object lifted into poetic light. It asks us to see beyond what’s visible, to discover the extraordinary hidden within the everyday, and to feel the silent glow of lunar presence in wood and matter..
Uranus Rectangular Dining Table
Alcarol > Table
The Uranus Table probes the boundary between perception and matter — a meditation on how what we see is shaped by the interplay of light, substance, and vision. At first glance, its materials resist recognition, as if pulled from another world. Yet it is born of Earth: two planks of Burled Poplar with live edges, mirrored and joined within a transparent medium. Their forms hover side by side without touching, supported by three clear pillars that lift and puncture the surface in a gesture of subtle defiance. The Burled Poplar reveals a sculpted grain of swirling knots and eyes — organic complexity that no human mind could predesign. Through a special finishing process infused with verdant oils, the wood’s natural holographic depth is magnified, giving it a green-tinted vibrancy reminiscent of Uranus itself. In shifting light, the surface seems to glow from within, rendering its material almost alien. Uranus Table is not a celestial object, but a terrestrial one illuminated by the same mystery. It calls us to reimagine the familiar — to perceive Earth’s hidden beauty through the color, light, and movement we associate with the sky above.
WETLAND Drawers
Alcarol > Cabinet
A wetland is an ecosystem that is saturated with water, which in some cases preserves materials such as wood for millennia. Abonos is a Celtic name which indicates the “fossil” wetland wood type of some rare alluvial areas of the Alps, where minerals and water have started the semi-fossilization process of the submerged trees. Currents bind the minerals and iron in the water with tannins in the wood, naturally hardening and colouring the wood in the process. This is clearly visible on the chromatics scale of the woodgrain – changing from golden to black – with always unique shades. This wood finally comes to light like a jewel of the past, through a careful, complex work of recovery and processing. Like the water over millennia, the alcarol’s transparent resin surrounds the organic shapes of this unique wood, preserving and enhancing all its preciousness and charm. The natural wood surface it’s not covered by resin on the section planes, so you can touch the warm organic vibrancy of such an ancient material.
RAPOLANO Console
Alcarol > Console
In the Sienese lands of Tuscany lies Rapolano, a place where ancient Romans once bathed in thermal springs and, long before them, the Etruscans quarried a rare and vibrant stone: Rapolano Travertine. Formed over millennia by mineral-rich waters flowing through hot springs and limestone caves, this sedimentary rock reveals delicate cavities, fibrous veins, and layered textures — each a trace of time, erosion, and transformation. Its palette ranges from creamy whites to rusted ochres, making it unlike any other travertine in the world. In collaboration with Vaselli, alcarol has reclaimed weathered fragments of this ancient stone, preserving its hollowed forms with a transparent resin that evokes the very waters from which it was born. The Rapolano Console is not merely functional, it is a metaphysical composition. A fragment of earth, shaped by centuries of subterranean flow, is lifted and held aloft by a slender metal pillar: a silent, vertical presence anchoring space and time. The stone hovers in balance, between geology and geometry, memory and material, made eternal through design.
SURFACING TRUNK Stool / Side Table
Alcarol > Side table
Surfacing Trunk Stool is crafted from discarded sections of dead trees, sourced from the wetlands of the Italian Dolomites. Its natural bark surface, still bearing mosses and tiny native plants, is preserved in a transparent resin that recalls the still water of its habitat. By filling the irregular cavities with resin, alcarol doesn’t only restore structure, it freezes a moment in time, just before nature’s cycle would reclaim the material. What was once overlooked becomes a quiet presence, holding the memory of a forest floor immersed in silence and slow decay. This is not just a stool, but a fragment of territory surfacing from below, suspended between end and rebirth.
FUNGI Console
Alcarol > Console
The Fungi Console is crafted from a single beech plank, recovered from an abandoned log in the Italian Dolomite forest, still bearing the delicate traces of its native fungal life. Cut with a thin blade and folded into form, the plank becomes a seamless architectural gesture. The woodgrain aligns perfectly around the corners, as if never divided, while a clear, icy resin — resembling the winter stillness that paused the fungi’s growth — fuses vertical and horizontal planes into one uninterrupted surface. Within the wood, the fungi have etched their silent presence: delicate patterns, dark lines, and tonal shifts map a hidden metamorphosis, revealing a landscape sculpted by time, place, and conditions never to be repeated. Preserved just before its full dissolution, the wood’s decay becomes a new kind of permanence — a fragment of organic history, paused in its most expressive moment.
WETLAND STREAMS Table
Alcarol > Table
A wetland is a water-saturated ecosystem where, in rare natural conditions, wood can be preserved for millennia. Abonos—a Celtic name for this semi-fossilized wetland timber—comes from ancient trunks buried in alpine alluvial areas. Protected beneath layers of sand and gravel, the trees underwent a slow transformation: minerals, iron and tannins bonded over time, hardening the wood and colouring its grain through a unique chromatic spectrum, from golden nuances to deep black. Once brought back to the surface, this wood emerges like a jewel of the past, recovered and crafted through delicate and meticulous processes. In the Wetland Streams Table, alcarol surrounds its organic forms with transparent resin, recalling the water that shaped it through the ages. Here, two clear rivers flow through the surface, a poetic echo of the streams that once carried the trunks along their ancient journey. The resin preserves and reveals every detail of the wood, while the exposed section planes remain free to the touch, allowing you to feel the warm, vibrant essence of a material that has travelled across eras. The result is a piece where time continues to flow, and nature’s memory becomes part of everyday life.
FUNGI Rectangular Coffee Table
Alcarol > Coffee table
Recovered from the Italian Dolomite forest, the Fungi Table is crafted from a large Beech log marked by native fungal activity — each line and shadow a silent record of time, place, and transformation. The live edges are encased in an extra-clear resin that evokes the winter ice once halting the fungi’s growth, preserving a fleeting natural process in stillness. The plank has been cut with a fine blade and rejoined with precise alignment of the fungal woodgrain, forming an L-shape with corners so seamless that both wood and resin appear uninterrupted. Through a proprietary process, alcarol creates a single, continuous volume — a solid trace of ephemeral life. This invisible joinery can be adapted for various typologies: tables, benches, shelves, and beyond. Each piece is unique — a quiet testament to the living conditions that shaped it, and to the poetry of transformation hidden in decay.
POPLAR Low Coffee Table
Alcarol > Coffee table
The Poplar Low Coffee Table is a meditation on human perception, an interplay between organic imperfection and visual illusion. It challenges the way we understand material, balance, and structure. The tabletop is composed of two almost specular planks of rare Burled Poplar, a wood whose grain swirls in unpredictable, dreamlike patterns. This deformation is entirely natural, yet so intricate and unfamiliar that it seems designed by hand, though no human could have imagined it. The live edges of the planks are preserved and joined in a transparent resin, suspended without contact, as if the wood were hovering. Four clear acrylic pillars pierce the structure and hold it in place with precise balance, a composition that appears both impossible and weightless. The result is a sculptural paradox: earthy and ethereal, familiar and alien. A dialogue between nature’s chaos and the clarity of form.

STROMBOLI Vase
Alcarol > Styling
The Stromboli vases recall the upward thrust of lava rising through water, abruptly halted and crystallized. Their compact forms suggest pressure and ascent, while the resin captures the boundary where molten matter met its cooling counterpart. Within each piece, a micro-geography unfolds: cavities formed by escaping gases, textures defined by sudden solidification, surfaces that speak of tension between fluidity and resistance. The transparency acts as a still body of water, through which the dense core is observed. Here, water and lava — elemental forces that shaped the conditions for life — converge once more, becoming a symbolic source of nourishment. The vessel is not only a container, but a site of continuity, where a plant or flower draws from this elemental memory, as if sustained by the very conditions that once made life possible. They stand as quiet presences, yet charged with latent energy — like submarine eruptions that continue unseen beneath the surface.

VULCANO Bookend
Alcarol > Styling
The Vulcano Bookends are conceived as solid volumes that encapsulate the moment lava encounters the surrounding sea. The porous stone, marked by abrupt cooling and internal fractures, is held within a transparent resin that evokes the enveloping presence of water. Like geological cross-sections of submarine formations, the cut surfaces reveal inner structures shaped by thermal contrast: voids, ruptures, and textures generated in the instant where heat is absorbed and transformed. The act of cutting exposes rather than defines — opening the material to reveal its hidden dynamics. Erosion and cooling, pressure and release: the pieces hold within them the memory of these opposing forces. The resin preserves this moment as a suspended environment, where density and fluidity coexist. Placed in space, they function as minimal architectural markers — delimiting and supporting, yet above all embodying a condition. Not simply objects, but fragments of a submerged landscape, where time, matter, and energy briefly reached equilibrium.

AEOLIE Coffee Table
Alcarol > Coffee table
The Aeolie Coffee Table evokes a volcanic formation emerging from the depths, where lava meets water and solidifies in suspended time. The stone retains the marks of rapid cooling — irregular, porous, alive with internal tension — while the transparent resin surrounds it like a liquid field, preserving the moment of contact. The surface appears to hover within this transparent volume, as if still immersed, while the bronzed steel base provides a subtle grounding — a horizon between seabed and open space. The object becomes a landscape shaped by opposing forces: a fragment of territory born underwater, where matter has found balance between expansion and containment.
ETNA Gem Lamp
Alcarol > Table lamp
The Etna Gem Lamp embodies the encounter of two primordial forces — fire and water — captured in luminous stillness. Produced with authentic lava rocks sourced from Mount Etna and encased in crystal-clear resin, it preserves the precise instant when molten magma met the sea during a submarine eruption. Half a million years ago, this underwater collision shaped the lava into fluid, organic forms — matter sculpted by the touch of water, frozen at the threshold between motion and calm. Within the transparent body, every stone retains the memory of that encounter, a relic of fire transformed by depth and pressure. A warm LED light emerges from the burnished steel base, filtering through the resin like sunlight beneath the sea. It reveals suspended air bubbles, glimmering like fragments of time, and evokes the quiet radiance of an underwater dawn. More than a lamp, the Etna Gem is a meditation on Earth’s origins — a luminous fragment where geology becomes poetry, and light reawakens the memory of creation.
Venus Rectangular Dining Table
Alcarol > Table
The Venus Table explores perception — a reflection on how light, matter, and the eye assemble the experience of reality. At first glance, its materials defy familiarity, as if sourced from another world and suspended in weightless harmony. Yet the table is rooted on Earth: two mirrored Burled Poplar planks with organic live edges, joined and encased in a transparent medium. They extend toward each other without touching, supported by three crystalline pillars that pierce and elevate the surface in a seemingly inexplicable gesture. The Burled Poplar is a wood of rare natural deformity — its grain swirls in unpredictable knots and eyes. Through a special yellow-toned oil finish, the wood’s inherent holographic depth is magnified: under shifting light, it gleams with an otherworldly vitality, rendering its surface almost unrecognizable, suspended between familiar matter and celestial vision. The Venus Table is not a creation from space, but a terrestrial object imbued with cosmic resonance. It invites us to perceive the extraordinary hidden within the everyday, to glimpse our planet as if seen through another lens — reminding us that Nature’s marvels lie waiting in plain sight.
Mars Rectangular Dining Table
Alcarol > Table
The Mars Table is a meditation on perception — a reflection on how light, matter, and the human eye conspire to create the experience of reality. At first glance, its materials seem unrecognizable, as if gathered from another planet and assembled in zero gravity. Yet they belong entirely to Earth: two Burled Poplar planks, mirrored along their natural live edges, joined within a crystal-clear body that suspends them like fragments of floating terrain. Supported by three irregular transparent pillars that pierce and sustain the surface in apparent defiance of gravity, the composition evokes a vision of geological balance — matter held still at the edge of transformation. The Burled Poplar, whose grain grows in spontaneous deformation, reveals a pattern of swirling knots and eyes, unpredictable and alive. Through a special red-tinted oil finishing, its natural holographic depth is greatly amplified, turning the surface into a field of shimmering reflections. Under changing light, the wood vibrates between shadow and fire, appearing almost extraterrestrial — a material both familiar and unknown. Mars Table is not a table from another world, but a vision of this one — a reminder that the extraordinary already exists in the depths of the ordinary. It is an invitation to rediscover the terrestrial Eden we still inhabit, and to perceive the unseen poetry within the material world.
Velvet HORIZONS Pouf
Alcarol > Pouf
Horizons reflects on planetary geology and human perception — an abstraction of terrains both terrestrial and celestial, now softened into everyday form. In this version, the top surface is made of sumptuous velvet, its fibers catching and layering light with an intrinsic holographic effect. The velvet plays with incident rays, shimmering and shifting as shadows move. Beneath, soft recycled foam is enveloped in a thin shell of rubber infused with stone powder and real soils, giving each piece organic texture and color. The vertical sides echo geological stratigraphy from both Earth and imagined planets. Here, velvet becomes a luminous terrain: tactile, alive, and subtly transformative. Horizons Velvet invites you to experience the poetry of matter — where planetary reliefs meet the softness of skin and the dance of light.
CHIRON Screen
Alcarol > Screens
The Chiron Screen inhabits a space between revelation and concealment — a boundary where vision hesitates. Made of four Burled Maple planks with live edges, each is frozen in a crystal-clear medium, suspended in time. This opaque-transparency invites a subtle dance of light and shade: some parts are visible, others concealed. A viewer glimpses forms shifting through translucency — the screen becomes a whispered echo of perception itself. Infused with verdigris and oil, the wood’s holographic grain emerges under changing light, its unusual depth making the material appear uncanny, almost alien. Though terrestrial, the Chiron Screen acts as a veil between what is and what might be: a portal to reconsider how we see, conceal, and reveal.
WETLAND Console
Alcarol > Console
A wetland is an ecosystem rich in water — a place where, under certain conditions, organic materials such as wood can be preserved for millennia. In some alpine regions, ancient fossil deposits are found buried in riverbeds: trunks once swept away by currents and slowly covered by layers of sand and gravel. In their oxygen-poor rest, a semi-fossilization process begins. Subterranean waters bind minerals and iron with the wood’s tannins, naturally tinting it in tones that range from golden brown to deep black, where each grain becomes a chromatic landscape. The fossil wood used in this piece is an oak from the Iron Age, dated to the 5th century BCE by radiocarbon analysis — rediscovered and carefully dried after centuries of immersion. Like the water that once protected it, alcarol’s transparent resin embraces the ancient wood, preserving its uniqueness and allowing the eye to perceive its original energy. A transparent vertical pillar pierces and sustains the wooden surface, in an almost anti-gravitational gesture. This crystalline column becomes both structure and symbol — a luminous axis of equilibrium that links the weight of the past to the clarity of the present, transforming material memory into suspended light. The Wetland Console thus embodies the dialogue between permanence and transience — between what is buried and what endures, between water and time.
HORIZONS Pouf / Low Tables
Alcarol > Side table
Horizons is a reflection on Planetary Geology — the science that studies the internal structures and surfaces of celestial bodies such as planets and their moons. The prefix geo, usually tied to Earth, becomes here a bridge between worlds. Through abstraction, the project reveals how the geomorphologies of other planets often mirror our own — reminding us that the language of matter is universal. And yet, beyond this cosmic perspective, Horizons surprises us with an unexpected softness — a tactile and deeply human pleasure. he shapes of its reliefs originate from 3D models of selected areas of the Italian Alps, abstracted and blended with imagined planetary terrains. The vertical sides evoke the geological stratigraphy of the planets in our solar system, while the upper surface is made of soft Nubuck leather, inviting touch. Beneath lies recycled polyurethane foam, enveloped in a thin layer of soft rubber mixed with stone powder and real soil, giving each piece its own organic tone and texture — always unique, always alive. In Horizons, Earth and the cosmos meet in a single gesture — a landscape that invites rest, contemplation, and the rediscovery of what connects us to the universe.
SLOPE Armchair
Alcarol > Chair
Slope is a reflection on Planetary Geology, a science discipline concerned with the geology and internal structure of celestial bodies such as planets and their moons. The geo prefix typically indicates topics of or relating to our planet Earth, and this project aims to illustrate – through abstraction – how similar the geomorphologies of other planets can be. Finally surprising us with an unexpected softness, a completely human pleasure. The shapes of the reliefs derive from three-dimensional files of some areas of the Italian Alps, made more abstract and mixed with other planetary geologies. The vertical sides are an abstract representation of typical geological stratigraphies of the solar system planets, where the top surface is soft genuine leather, the lower part is recycled soft polyurethane foam, covered with a thin layer of soft rubber mixed with stone powder and real soils which make the colors and textures always unique and completely organic.
LAVA Side Table
Alcarol > Side table
The matter surface is the one that is normally revealed, but only by going deeper can we fully understand the processes and forces that generated it. Lava is molten rock that has been expelled from the interior of a planet onto its surface. Lava may have erupted on land or underwater. The word Lava comes from Italian and is probably derived from the Latin word labes, which means a fall. Lava stool is made of Lava rocks from the Etna volcano on the island of Sicily, Italy, one of the world’s most active volcanoes with eruptions occurring beneath the sea since about 500,000 years ago. During submarine eruptions, the molten magma meets the sea, and its violent encounter with water sculpts the rock into fluid, organic forms that seem to freeze movement itself. Each fragment thus carries within it the memory of that encounter — a fleeting instant of transformation made eternal. The rocks seem frozen and suspended in an infinite cosmic moment, like a sort of underwater cross section that has flung open the doors to this ancestral activity of the Universe, in all its majesty and wonder. Lava is a meditation on terrestrial matter with its gaze turned toward the cosmos, where time solidifies into stillness and energy becomes reflection. The natural stone surface is left uncovered, revealing the tactile power of the material — its density, its silent strength, its primordial warmth. Each fragment tells of the slow cooling of magma, the transformation of chaos into form, of fluid fire turned solid and eternal.
Ø GRAVITY Bookshelf
Alcarol > Cabinet
Ø Gravity is a self-supporting bookshelf that challenges conventions of form and balance. Its apparent instability hides a precise inner logic — a tensile system where dry joints, tempered glass, and Saint Andrew’s Cross cables combine to create multi-directional stability. With no screws, no glue, and no fixed hierarchy, the structure stands in a state of suspended clarity — a delicate equilibrium between gravity and intention. Books are held not in rigid alignment, but by the natural force of the Earth itself. Tilt the shelves, and gravity becomes a quiet ally: keeping volumes gently leaning, perfectly still, without the need for bookends. The carved wooden sides evoke the textured crusts of planets or meteorites, while dichroic steel tie rods shimmer with aerospace tones — making Ø Gravity feel less like a bookshelf and more like a satellite in orbit: weightless, precise, and poised in timeless suspension. It is not simply a piece of furniture, but a spatial gesture, a sculptural system where materials speak, gravity listens, and lightness becomes structure.
KARST GEM
Alcarol > Styling
Karst is a landscape born from the patient work of water — a slow dissolution that carves stone into voids, caves, and hidden rivers beneath the surface of the Earth. Over millennia, rain and time have sculpted the soluble rocks of the Italian Alps into delicate networks of hollows and veins, transforming erosion into an act of creation. From this ancient terrain, alcarol has collected fragments of authentic karst stone, some still bearing traces of mosses and lichens, witnesses of a living geology. Each fragment is preserved within a transparent, water-like volume, echoing the very element that shaped it. The result is a suspended landscape, a solid block of time in which water’s motion has become light. The geometric form — reminiscent of a cut gem — crystallizes the essence of the karst process itself: the transformation of fragility into permanence, of void into beauty. The gem becomes a metaphor for the Earth’s memory — a relic of matter purified by dissolution, where absence is as meaningful as substance. Karst Gem stands as both stool and sculpture, both artifact and meditation: a luminous monument to the quiet power of water and the slow poetry of geological time.
PLANET X Table
Alcarol > Table
Planet X Table is a reflection around human visual perception of Nature and Cosmos, a play with the process by which the physical energy received by sense organs forms the basis of perceptual experience. Planet X Table is a meditation on perception — an exploration of how the eye and mind translate the vastness of nature and the cosmos into tangible experience. Inspired by the hypothesis of an unseen planet orbiting in the far reaches of our solar system, Planet X evokes the mystery of distant matter suspended in space and time. At first glance, its materials seem unfamiliar, almost weightless — as if joined in zero gravity. In reality, the tabletop is crafted from two Burled Poplar planks, their live edges and swirling grain recalling planetary atmospheres. The two fragments merge within a crystal-clear medium, frozen like cosmic ice. Three transparent pillars pierce and support the circular top in apparent levitation, playing with light and refraction, concealing their structure within luminous, extraclear volumes. The result is an illusion of suspension — a fragment of our planet transformed into an object that feels extraterrestrial. The rare Burled Poplar, naturally deformed and richly figured, undergoes a special colored-oil finishing that amplifies its inherent holographic quality. This treatment reveals a vibrant, shifting depth — as if the wood itself were reflecting multiple dimensions of light — making the material almost unrecognizable, suspended between the organic and the cosmic. Between gravity and light, Planet X Table reveals the invisible — where earthly matter becomes a mirror of the universe, and perception transcends reality.
Chiron Table
Alcarol > Table
In astronomy, Chiron was first thought to be an asteroid, but it is in fact one of the most massive known periodic comets — a wandering body that orbits around Uranus, the green planet. Like its celestial namesake, the Chiron Table explores perception itself: the way light, matter, and the human eye collaborate to create what we call reality. At first glance, the materials seem unearthly, as if joined in zero gravity. Yet they are of this planet — two planks of Burled Poplar with organic live edges, joined and encased within a clear, luminous medium. Their forms stretch toward each other without ever touching, held in balance by three irregular transparent pillars that pierce and support them in a seemingly weightless gesture. The Burled Poplar — a wood whose grain grows in spontaneous, natural deformation — reveals a swirling, unpredictable pattern that no human hand could design. Through a special verdigris and oil finishing, the surface acquires a holographic radiance that amplifies the wood’s innate depth and fluidity. Under shifting light, its grain moves and breathes, as if alive, transforming the material into something almost unrecognizable — no longer mere wood, but a living reflection of light itself. Chiron is not a table of outer space, but a terrestrial one — a vision of our own planet seen as if from afar. It reminds us that the extraordinary already exists beneath our feet, waiting only to be perceived. It invites us to look deeper into the familiar, and to rediscover the wonder of what is real.
Moon Rectangular Dining Table
Alcarol > Table
The Moon Table explores perception and light — how our senses transform raw matter into meaning. At first glance, materials appear alien, joined in weightless harmony; yet the table is firmly of Earth. Two mirrored Burled Poplar planks with live edges stretch toward one another, encased in a luminous medium like frozen lunar frost. Four transparent pillars float through the surface, supporting the top in an enigmatic suspension. The Burled Poplar is a wood of peculiar deformities — swirling eyes and knots growing in unpredictable patterns. Through a special verdigris and oil finishing, its innate holographic depth is magnified, casting the grain in shifting luminescence that defies recognition. Under varied light, the surface seems to breathe — transforming wood into a material both familiar and cosmic. Moon Table is not a manifestation of fantasy, but a terrestrial object lifted into poetic light. It asks us to see beyond what’s visible, to discover the extraordinary hidden within the everyday, and to feel the silent glow of lunar presence in wood and matter..
Uranus Rectangular Dining Table
Alcarol > Table
The Uranus Table probes the boundary between perception and matter — a meditation on how what we see is shaped by the interplay of light, substance, and vision. At first glance, its materials resist recognition, as if pulled from another world. Yet it is born of Earth: two planks of Burled Poplar with live edges, mirrored and joined within a transparent medium. Their forms hover side by side without touching, supported by three clear pillars that lift and puncture the surface in a gesture of subtle defiance. The Burled Poplar reveals a sculpted grain of swirling knots and eyes — organic complexity that no human mind could predesign. Through a special finishing process infused with verdant oils, the wood’s natural holographic depth is magnified, giving it a green-tinted vibrancy reminiscent of Uranus itself. In shifting light, the surface seems to glow from within, rendering its material almost alien. Uranus Table is not a celestial object, but a terrestrial one illuminated by the same mystery. It calls us to reimagine the familiar — to perceive Earth’s hidden beauty through the color, light, and movement we associate with the sky above.
Uranus Table
Alcarol > Table
The Uranus Table explores the boundary between perception and matter — a reflection on how light, wood, and the eye shape what we call reality. At first glance, its materials defy familiarity, as though drawn from another world. Yet the piece is wholly terrestrial: two mirrored Burled Poplar planks with live edges, encased and joined like fragments of floating terrain. They never touch, suspended in balance, upheld by four clear pillars that lift them in a seeming levity. The Burled Poplar bears a grain of swirling knots and eyes — natural complexity in deformation. Enhanced by a verdigris-infused oil finish, its inherent holographic depth is magnified, tinting the wood with subtle green radiance. Under shifting light, the surface glimmers with an otherworldly glow, transforming the material into something almost unrecognizable — neither fully wood nor alien, but something in between. Uranus Table is not a creation taken from space, but a terrestrial object inspired by a planet. It invites us to look deeper into our own world — to perceive the extraordinary hidden within the ordinary, to feel the mysterious green echo of Uranus in grain, light, and matter.
6:44 AM HORIZONS - Mirror Seat
Alcarol > Styling
6:44 AM HORIZONS is an exploration around human perception of landscapes, with an eye towards sky and space. alcarol’s research expands on the concept of horizons by emphasizing the importance of the sky in defining them. The design integrates elements of mountains, sky, and cosmos, blending them with abstract representations of planetary geologies. The seat, made of verdigris velvet, reflects the Italian Alps while incorporating textures inspired by other planets. This abstraction aims to highlight the similarities between Earth and other celestial bodies, surprising viewers with unexpected softness. The piece evokes the pre-sunrise copper dawn sky, using a mirrored steel with burnished an copper patinas representing a cloudy sunrise and invoking the atmosphere of other planets. The material used is intentionally unconventional, sometimes appearing frozen or suspended, adding to the dreamy contemplation of the piece.
