A handmade jewellery cabinet is held up by four slender legs. The cabinet has been covered with a stingray. Ludwig Vogelgesang takes inspiration and creates his masterpieces through an emotional response to the materials. Ludwig immerses himself in the story of the object with the purpose to bring out the most fitting colors tonalities and shades, but most of all to be faithful to the unique nature of the objects he creates.
The mirror was named after the ancient Portuguese technique called filigree, one of the oldest jewelry making techniques known… The shape of the Filigree Mirror, made by Boca do Lobo, represents the Portuguese culture and art.

The work presents a variety of techniques, as you can see in this product leaves were “fossilized” to create different textured molds. A cold casting of the bronze is then used as a technique to minimize the bronze layer and therefore the final weight, while the other side, a one-millimeter brass sheet is used.

On the other hand, the second one, purified and contemporary, has a layering of patinas that conveys the effect of extreme depth on the thin surface.
