The interior remains in its original state, revealing warm, peach-toned nacre that contrasts elegantly with the cool metallic finish.

This is not an electroplated surface, but an intentionally artisanal application; slight tonal variation and texture are inherent to the process and contribute to the individuality of the piece.

Presented as a standalone object, it functions as a statement in restraint—equally at home in a coastal setting or within a more minimal, collected interior. See less
