OBJ-10 establishes a dialogue of contrasts. Its design is defined by the doors— two symmetrical rectangles that open at their center to create an opening: a slit that invites the hand in and reveals the interior. This gesture sets up a tension between the geometric and the organic, defining the character of the piece.
The cabinet is conceived as a mono-material object in copper, inside and out. The exterior retains a raw finish, while the interior, mirror-polished, reveals copper in its purest state, establishing a duality between rawness and precision.

OBJ-10 is produced from recycled copper in collaboration with master artisans in Santa Clara del Cobre, Michoacán. The material is heated in fire until it becomes malleable, then shaped through controlled, repetitive hammering. Rather than relying on industrial processes, form develops gradually through this manual work, allowing the material to be stretched, compressed, and stabilized by hand.
The piece retains the traces of this process—subtle variations, tonal shifts, and surface irregularities—that reflect both the intensity of the work and the nature of the material itself. Once the raw piece is formed, it is transported to Valle de Chalco, Estado de México, where final adjustments, assembly, and finishing are completed.
