SILVER OYSTER By Materica
Metallization with brass
The Silver Oyster finish blends the elegance of silver with the suggestion of an oyster, creating a captivating and distinctive aesthetic on an object or surface. This combination evokes the image of an oyster shell, giving the object a sense of mystery and hidden beauty. This finish captures the imagination, creating an atmosphere of luxury and refinement.
It all stems from a simple and enlightening intuition: take a technique born as an anti-corrosive treatment and revolutionise it, exploiting its aesthetic potential to breathe new life into a surface. If the characteristics and geometries of an object allow it, metallisation succeeds in creating something truly special: a new 'skin', a precious envelope that makes metallic what is not metallic, enhancing the plastic and sculptural dimension of a material. The gesture is as powerful as it is surgical: an electric arc gun melts wires of pure metal - copper, bronze, brass, zinc, nickel silver - and the particles are projected violently onto the surface. Whether wood, glass, brick, marble, resin-coated polystyrene or fabric, the metamorphosis is sudden, definitive, enhancing. Like the birth of a new identity.
