About

White Bronze Edition: Edition of three + 2 AP / proposed number: AP #2 (main edition sold out) Bronze Edition: sold out White bronze is a higher quality more durable alloy of bronze. It has a gorgeous white gold quality to it. Bronze age collection contains all handcrafted pieces, using traditional skills that once underpinned our very survival, each piece a manually intensive work and formed from the material that represents the dawn of civilization. For this project I wanted to create something totally opposite to the technology driven trends based on the emergence of new digital tools such as 3D printing. I like the idea that bronze is precious and is therefor implicitly sustainable, it is either preserved or remelted but never discarded, who knows maybe these pieces contain a couple of remelted ancient bronze swords! Bronze age pieces are part of the following collections: Centre Pompidou Paris permanent collection Philippe Starck private collection Rodica Seward private collection Lidewij Edelkoort private collection Hans Lensvelt private collection.
