Mataé has been part of the Castagnina family since the beginning of the adventure! And even before that, because it was with him that the brand's little logo was born: that pretty chestnut emerging from its husk, shining like the sun! Because yes, this young man has more than one string to his bow: he is a graphic designer, an expert in numerically controlled machines, and... a foundryman!
He can therefore draw on a pool of ultra-contemporary or much more traditional techniques as he sees fit, and I must admit that I love him for that too!
Bronze is such a noble material! And watching it being worked in the forge is so mesmerizing... we couldn't pass up these solid bronze chestnuts!
Palme d'Or, Ballon d'Or, Disque d'Or... I dream of a Châtaigne d'Or (Golden Chestnut) that would reward all those who care for trees, who value the fruit, its cultivation, and its imagination! In the absence of a ceremony to award them (at least for now!), we have created these beauties! As table decorations, paperweights, knife holders or chopstick holders, they're irresistible, aren't they? And what's more, you can revise the composition of bronze: 90% copper and 10% tin! Now you can show off at parties!
