For the Gear Collection, honeycomb cardboard, a material used as structural reinforcement for packaging, is the source of inspiration. The cardboard has a structural quality that is expressed through a honeycomb-shaped cardboard grid; when cut, it reveals a series of random vertical patterns on its edges that, when stacked, generate a texture of architectural and sculptural expression. The process of bringing the Gear Collection to life is highly complex and elaborate, requiring each piece to be made four times in different materials. After modeling and building silicone and wax models, it is in the casting process where accidents occur and the essence of the ‘Gear Collection’ emerges.

This process takes place under the sand, where the wax pieces are buried to then be melted, leaving a space to pour in the molten metal. In this way, not only the shapes of the original model are replicated, but also the imperfections and disruptions of the sand, creating unique pieces that reflect both the precision and the controlled chaos of the process.

Regardless of the number of pieces in the editions, each piece is unique and unrepeatable, as the artisan’s hand and the element of chance become part of the creation.

The Gear Desk is constructed out of cast polished bronze with patina finish. The honeycomb-shaped cardboard grid is the source of inspiration, when cut into irregular shapes it reveals aleatory vertical patterns along the edges, creating a sculptural expression. These patterns, materialized and contained in bronze with radial cuts, take on different formats and scales, defining objects with utilitarian functions, such as coffee tables, light sculptures, and now The Desk, all expressed as over-scaled jewels or geared ornaments.
