The piece is made from steel plate (approx. 2.5 mm thick) and has developed a beautiful, warm rust patina through natural oxidation.

Dimensions: height 160 cm, width 108 cm, thickness approx. 0.25 cm.

The form is cleanly and graphically cut, with openings for the eyes, nose, and teeth, giving the object a balance between solidity and transparency.

At the back, a mounting system is provided (visible in the photos), allowing the skull to be easily hung on the wall. It can also be placed freely, for example leaning against a wall or used as a freestanding statement piece within a space.

This skull originates from Paris, where such objects were used as loft and industrial décor, particularly in creative workspaces, shops, and event venues. The style and execution place the piece firmly in the 1990s, a period marked by the rise of raw industrial materials and oversized forms.

Thanks to its robust construction, the piece is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. It works especially well in a loft, retail space, gallery, festival setting, hospitality venue, or as a striking statement on a façade or in a garden with industrial accents. See less
