Slim Side StoneElm® Limited Edition
Material focus
Henge’s constant search for beauty and preciousness around the world met a treasure cherished by the earth, an ancient material that is rare and unique: StoneElm®.
StoneElm® was created by the union of Nature and Time, in a dance of the earth that embraced wood, protecting and changing it for a thousand years. When logs that due to landslides and movements of the superficial forest have slipped underground and have been wrapped up and cherished under layers of clay, nature treasures them for a millennium, only to make them resurface today in a new, unprecedented beauty. Nothing stays the same forever, but the real beauty of nature lays within its changes and shades, as for StoneElm®. Henge approached to this incredible rarity with precision and devotion, choosing the best way to enhance the beauty of a material that became timeless after being aged by the hands of Nature.
This is the unique recipe of a material that Henge has chosen for a only 10 pieces limited edition of its Slim Side designed by Massimo Castagna, adding the special value of an immortal essence to the design of a product able to make it even more than extraordinary. –Working on a so precious material was absolutely thrilling– says the designer Massimo Castagna. –Touching and seeing something so rare with a so magnificent beauty, and most of all, applying it to a piece of design like the Slim Side was simply perfect. The level Henge reached in researching, finding and working these kind of elements Nature cherished for us is outstanding. It has always been the basis of our philosophy, but we went through an incredible growth on that side.– The strong design of Slim Side meets this amazing material and enhances the naturalness of StoneElm® with a beautiful basement in oxidized burnished brass, giving it the perfect effect of contrast and the touch of an immortal protagonist of the house.
The 10 limited edition Slim Side embody the most iconic value of Henge: the uniqueness, the exclusiveness of having a piece that is one and only, for life.
