Description
Paolo Ulian begins with a flawless brass cylinder, spins it smooth on a lathe, then delivers a single, decisive crush. The impact drives the walls inward, folding the metal into a tidy run of squares, pentagons, and hexagons—a geometric ripple that locks the shape and turns mirror-bright brass into a small piece of sculpture. No two presses fall in exactly the same place, so every bowl carries a one-off pattern of facets and reflections.
At just under 5 inches across, Compressioni lands perfectly on a console or nightstand, catching keys, rings, or wrapped chocolates while gleaming like liquid gold. A thin coat of clear lacquer keeps tarnish at bay; wipe with a soft cloth to maintain the shine. Part of Ulian’s three-piece exploration of “controlled deformation,” the tray proves that one bold gesture can coax unexpected beauty from a simple sheet of metal.
