Brera Design District

MATERIALS - COLORS - TRADITIONS

For the 61st edition of the Milan Design Week, oxidation will be at the center of our research on the future of materials, as an unprecedented way to give a particular meaning to the passing of time.

In fact, oxidation before being a technique is a natural process of transformation of the material, whose surface finish changes over time and thus allows you to observe and appreciate the evolution process of a product. Furthermore, the object capable of increasing its beauty thanks to the oxidation it undergoes over time is a potentially eternal object.

Today oxidation is a tool fully inserted within the modern design industry: steel, iron, copper, brass, but also porcelain itself are just some of the materials treated through this technique, capable of transforming their texture and colour.

By fusing the highest Eastern and Western artisan research in a single showroom, we want to bring you to a new knowledge of oxidation and the varied range of colors capable of giving rise, from red-orange, to shades of gray, up to iridescent blue.

From 17 April we are waiting for you for a sensory journey to discover new materials and finishes, colors and different traditions, all united by a single great technique: oxidation.
