Metal, in the space

A wall.
A landscape.

Natural oxidation leaves shades and variations in the metal. A surface becomes part of the architecture: it wraps a column, follows a wall and gives depth to light.

Bespoke metalwork by Simone Scapini. The photographs show the interiors where it belongs.

01 / In the space

From volume
to detail.

The design can also be read at the points where elements meet. A fold, an edge, a joint between two sheets: up close, the cladding reveals its construction.

02 / Wall panellingA surface shapes an interior

One continuous line.
From wall to staircase.

The dark wall gathers the light. Beside it, the profile of the staircase extends the language of metal into the home.

Cladding a volume

Even fire
has a frame.

A metal surface wraps the fireplace and defines its presence in the room. A restrained volume, between the pale wall and the warmth of wood.
