Materica POVEGLIA ZINC Metallization with zinc

The Poveglia Zinc finish skillfully combines the aesthetic of zinc with artistic and historical inspiration, evoking the rich history of Poveglia Island in the Venetian Lagoon.‎ This finish conveys a unique atmosphere, capturing the charm and mystery of the island and bringing it to the object or surface, creating a fascinating blend of art, history, and zinc aesthetics.‎ It all stems from a simple and enlightening intuition: take a technique born as an anti-corrosive treatment and revolutionise it, exploiting its aesthetic potential to breathe new life into a surface.‎ If the characteristics and geometries of an object allow it, metallisation succeeds in creating something truly special: a new 'skin', a precious envelope that makes metallic what is not metallic, enhancing the plastic and sculptural dimension of a material.‎ The gesture is as powerful as it is surgical: an electric arc gun melts wires of pure metal - copper, bronze, brass, zinc, nickel silver - and the particles are projected violently onto the surface.‎ Whether wood, glass, brick, marble, resin-coated polystyrene or fabric, the metamorphosis is sudden, definitive, enhancing.‎ Like the birth of a new identity.‎ Further info from manufacturer on POVEGLIA ZINC Materica
