01
Nature
A single head of Romanesco — the starting point.
Romanesco
Object N° 01
“A stool conceived from the logic of nature — where the fractal geometry of the Romanesco cauliflower becomes the structural language of an object.”
Detail & Craft
Cast by hand, finished by touch.
Each leg is sand-cast in solid aluminium from a master pattern taken directly from the Romanesco. The fractal skin of the vegetable is preserved verbatim — every cluster, ridge and micro-crown remains legible in the finished metal.
The seat is turned from a single billet and lightly brushed by hand, its quiet, matte disc set against the raw texture of the legs. Where the two meet, the join is left honest — a soft seam that reveals rather than hides the making.
No two pieces are identical. Small variations in the casting skin, the brush marks on the seat, and the natural patina of aluminium give each stool its own signature.
Process
Seven steps, in sequence.
02
Sketch
A first interpretation of the fractal geometry into furniture.
03
Reshaping nature
The Romanesco is manually reshaped into an elongated form — the legs.
04
Mold
A silicone mold captures every cluster and ridge.
05
Prototype casting
The first physical component, cast and released from the mold. Also used as the master pattern for the sand-cast aluminium legs.
06
Final
The finished aluminium stool.
