The Burned Collection features metal furniture shaped by the transformative power
of heat. Through meticulous experiments on various metal surfaces, both
mechanically and by hand this collection reveals the rich interplay of oxidation and
color.

When metal is heated, it undergoes an oxidation process that produces a spectrum
of hues, influenced by the metal type and temperature variations. Smaller
temperature differences yield more monochromatic colors, while larger differences
create a vibrant array.

The methodology developed through these experiments is central to the Burned
Collection, showcasing the dynamic and unique results of each heating process.
