In Bienno, the \"village of a thousand forges,\" where the knowledge of this archaic craftsman is preserved,\u003cbr\u003eIacchetti found people who could help him develop the project for an iron container. Thus, a dialogue was born between the designer\u003cbr\u003eand the artisans of Bienno, a shared journey that gradually led from the initial design to the initial form, \u003cbr\u003eand from that - in a kind of genre evolution - to the final artifact. Coppa Camuna has a seemingly brutalist form that resembles a war helmet, but inverted upwards towards the sky, transformed into a container ready to hold a flower or become an instrument\u003cbr\u003eof offering. In other words, an extraordinary subversion of meaning that transforms a symbol of war into an artifact of offering. The production process, in turn, contains a transition of meaning, from strength to offering: iron, turned with powerful energy, then passed through fire for\u003cbr\u003efinal wax treatment, becomes a poetic object containing, as its designer says, \"the things of life.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ancient manufacturing process of Coppa Camuna is handmade on a lathe, then passed through fire to heat it and absorb the beeswax applied to its surface with quick gestures; this protects the metal from rust. As its designer said: \"an ancient process, and a primal form, with a deliberately rough surface, for an object created to confront human culture.\"\u003cbr\u003eBetween art and anthropology, produced in a limited edition of 999 pieces, Coppa Camuna comes from a centuries-old production culture: an object dedicated to those who appreciate the wisdom of creation and the human hand.\u003cbr\u003eA renewed conversion to kindness. \u003cbr\u003eAn object with high narrative content: its shape, reminiscent of warlike aggression, loses its original meaning and is reborn as a pacified symbol of care and hope.\u003cbr\u003eVisible imperfections or deformations, attributed to the manual production process, make each piece unique, emphasizing its artisanal character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHandmade in Italy.\u003cbr\u003eIron, an ancient material, is one of the most abundant elements in the Earth's crust and the most recyclable. It can be used repeatedly without losing its properties, which reduces the need to extract new natural resources and\u003cbr\u003ereduces its environmental impact. The beeswax coating, which protects the bowl from oxidation, is a traditional and\u003cbr\u003eecological practice typical of iron artisans in Valle Camonica.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUSE AND MAINTENANCE:\u003cbr\u003eWe recommend using a soft cloth dampened with lukewarm water. \u003cbr\u003eDo not wash in a dishwasher or in very hot water to avoid damaging the natural beeswax coating.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePACKAGING\u003cbr\u003eCoppa Camuna comes with a certificate of authenticity and a short publication with texts by Alberto Alessi and Giulio Iacchetti.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eØ CM 23 - H CM 11\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alessi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53854274093403,"sku":"arte-brands-alessi-ITM24","price":830.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1015\/9403\/8619\/files\/40236-main_aebe4601-772e-4a36-aa1f-dc8c66fe0d37.webp?v=1787328707","url":"https:\/\/oxxdesign.eu\/en\/products\/coppa-camuna-zelazna-misa-o23-cm","provider":"OxxDesign","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
