OBJ-12 DINNING TABLE

OBJ-12 is a rectangular dining table defined by a single central mirror-polished volume that supports the top. This block acts both as structure and as the element that sets the geometry.

Above it, the top reads as a raw copper mantle, its surface subtly responding to the volume beneath. The material’s malleability allows the geometry to register from within, creating a slight rise that makes the relationship between both elements visible and introduces a dual level. The result is a piece where mass and surface are held in tension, with the copper recording the geometry it rests on.

PRODUCTION PROCESS

OBJ-12 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.
