Details
Inspired by the dynamic moment when an angel spreads its wings, this door transforms grace into architectural art. The wing forms are deconstructed into elegant veneer panels, with door handles seamlessly integrated into the fluid wing-edge curves. Master artisans’ hand-forge copper plates into aerodynamic contours following the golden ratio, creating an integrated handle-door structure. Anti-oxidation treatment allows the copper to develop a unique patina over time. The interior features natural ebony wood with piano lacquer finish. Rough exterior textures meet silk-smooth interior surfaces, achieving the symbiosis of function and art.
The Jury‘s Statement
The captivating interplay of hand-forged copper and finely polished ebony gives »Eternal« a distinctly charismatic presence. Striking wing shapes, inspired by the moment of unfolding, merge seamlessly with integrated handles and appear both monumental and elegant. Subtle surface finishing and timeless material choices convincingly emphasize the high design standards. With its nuanced detailing and expressive character, this door sets a remarkable benchmark within the architectural context.
