Graphic and powerful
The Samson console showcases traditional ironwork skills with its hand-forged and patinated steel base.
The contemporary "cross-shaped" base design adds a graphic and rhythmic touch.

Strength and precision
All my steel creations are forged and then hand-patinated.
I chose a patina called "forged black" which is like a signature of all my pieces.
The "black forge" patina is an ancient technique which consists of fixing onto the metal the scale which forms naturally on the surface under the combined action of the high temperature of the fire and the striking of the metal on the anvil.
This traditional patina allows the metal to shine with discreet touches while bringing warmth to the steel through a subtle range of shades from anthracite grey to black.
It's all about the art of revealing the strength and softness of metal.
