Obsidian marble bust sculpture

— Collection MMXXVI

A curated house of obsidian sculptures — hand-polished volcanic marble, dusted with constellations of raw quartz.

— Manifesto · MMXXVI

We chase the moment where stone forgets its weight — and begins, quietly, to breathe.

Every piece is quarried by hand from a single volcanic block, then slow-polished across seven weeks. No two star-flecks fall in the same constellation. No two silhouettes repeat.

The Atelier · Process

Four hands. Forty-nine days.

No machine finishes the surface. No two pieces travel the same road. Every commission passes through the same four stages — never faster.

    A single volcanic block is chosen at the source — for its density, its silence, its hidden constellations.
