Craftsmanship, liquid metal coating and gold leaf
In an era where authenticity and attention to detail seem increasingly rare, this work presents itself as a tribute to craftsmanship, to the passion for fine materials and to the ability to transform them into true works of art. Every single phase of its creation, from modeling to coating in liquid metal, tells a story of dedication, precision and love for art. A Textural Bronze Cladding: Between Strength and Refinement The first impression this sculpture gives is that of an extraordinary stage presence. The external surface has been expertly covered with a liquid metal coating, a hand-burnished material bronze, a process that requires great skill. Bronze, worked with traditional artisan techniques, takes on a rich and vibrant texture, capable of capturing light in unique ways and giving the work a distinctive personality. Manual burnishing not only defines the aesthetics of the work, but also tells its soul. Every chromatic variation, every slight irregularity is the tangible sign of human labor, which imprints on the material an emotional depth impossible to replicate by industrial processes. The Golden Interior: A Revelation of Luxury and Warmth If the exterior stands out for its strength and materiality, the interior of the work reveals a precious and luminous heart. Here, the manual workmanship reaches its peak thanks to the liquid metal finish in 24kt gold leaf. This detail, which requires absolute precision and sure gestures, adds a touch of luxury and warmth that contrasts beautifully with the burnished bronze. Gold, with its timeless brilliance, lends a sense of sacredness to the work, making it not only a decorative element, but a symbol of prestige and eternal beauty. Each gold reflection seems to tell a story, inviting the viewer to immerse himself in a universe of details and sensations. A Protective Finish to Preserve Beauty To preserve the integrity and beauty of this sculpture over time, the craftsman chose to apply a fine wax coating. This treatment is not only functional, but also aesthetic: it enhances the natural tones of bronze and gold, giving the surface a soft, velvety sheen. The wax also acts as a protective shield, limiting aging and oxidation, natural phenomena that could alter the work’s appearance over time. Thanks to this care, the sculpture retains its original freshness, ready to defy the passage of years without losing its charm. An Expression of Style and Uniqueness This sculpture is not simply an object to be admired: it is a work capable of dialoguing with the observer, arousing emotions and enriching the environment in which it is placed. It is perfect for those looking for something unique, for those who appreciate authentic art, and for those who wish to surround themselves with objects that tell a story. Every detail of this creation reflects the perfect balance between tradition and innovation, between solidity and lightness, between strength and grace. It is not just a sculpture, but a testimony to the beauty that can arise from the encounter between human creativity and matter. A work that, with its majesty and intimacy, will never cease to fascinate and inspire.

Elegance and Design in Outdoor: first impressions count
First impressions are crucial, not only in human interactions, but also in the context of architecture and design. When we meet a person for the first time, our initial judgment is formed in seconds, influenced by appearance, clothing, and behavior. Similarly, the entrance to a home is the calling card that tells the owners’ taste, style, and attention to detail at a glance. A well-kept and refined entrance can transform a simple building into a work of art, creating an atmosphere of luxury and welcome from the very first glance. In this context, InnoMetal Italia stands out for its ability to transform exterior surfaces, making them not only functional but also incredibly elegant. Our experience in the cladding industry has enabled us to develop innovative, high-quality solutions that enhance any space with fine materials and cutting-edge design. THE PROJECT. A representative example of our commitment to excellence is the creation of a complete coating for an exterior door. For this project, we used our spray-applied manganese finish, a material that combines strength and sophistication and is no match for better-known metals such as bronze and brass. The door, completely finished with this material, thanks to its texture and shade captures light in a unique way, creating plays of shadows and reflections that enhance its beauty and do not go unnoticed. But we didn’t stop at the door. The entire exterior wall cladding was made with the same manganese finish, ensuring flawless visual harmony. This continuity of materials and finishes helps create a sense of stylistic coherence, making the entrance not just a passage, but a true design element. WHAT SETS US APART Our coverings are designed and certified to perform at their best even in contact with the elements and maintain their beauty over time, without requiring special maintenance. This means that our customers can enjoy entrances that are always perfect, capable of welcoming with elegance and style. So, first impressions count, and with InnoMetal Italia, every entryway can become a design masterpiece.

Liquid metal: the material that transforms any surface
In the vibrant world of modern interior design and architecture, liquid metals are emerging as a new material with unlimited possibilities. It is a true metal coating composed of pure metal powder and a special binder, offering planners and designers unparalleled versatility. Unlike cast or sheet metal, liquid metal coatings retain the valued appearance of molten metal, offering many more finishing possibilities, including oxidations. Their extraordinary adaptability stems from their unique nature: a thin layer from as little as 120 microns of liquid metal is sufficient to emulate the appearance of molten metal, with considerable weight loss of the artifact. This, not only improves logistical organization and transportation, but also expands the range of applications far beyond what traditional metals can achieve. Liquid metals are distinguished by one outstanding feature: their ability to be applied to any surface, even the most unusual ones. From metal to wood, concrete to fiberglass, ABS to glass, etc.: any material can be transformed into a masterpiece thanks to liquid metal. Here are some concrete examples of how liquid metals can be used to breathe new life into seemingly incompatible materials: Fiberglass: fiberglass is a durable and versatile material that can be used as a canvas for liquid metal application. This makes it possible to create more complex shapes and figures than would be possible on other substrates. For example, for the creation of vertical panels for interior cladding with fine finishes with unique textures and materiality, with reduced weights and high design flexibility. Ceramics: liquid metals enrich ceramics with novel textures and patinas, making it an even more valuable and versatile material. Metal applications are found on sculptures made of ceramics, to transform them into true metal castings. Polystyrene: polystyrene is a lightweight and easy-to-process material that can be transformed into a unique and precious creation through the application of liquid metal. A large sculptural paneling finds its proper connotation in the three-dimensional workmanship of polystyrene, as do statues and sculptures, all of which are then coated with liquid metal manages to mislead the most attentive observer. Papier-mâché: papier-mâché is a simple and accessible material that can be transformed into a work of art thanks to liquid metals. Primarily used for decorations and works of art, with our processes it finds a new connotation, from low-cost prototyping to the creation of unique paintings and sculptures, even of small and medium size. Marbles and Stones: natural stones and stone agglomerates are increasingly included in design contexts, today they find new decorations with liquid metals, in order to create innovative surface finishes. One example is liquid metal stone inlays, or high sculptural thickness cladding, indispensable details in fine contexts. Liquid metals are a magical material that can transform any surface into a masterpiece. From Styrofoam to paper mache, there is no limit to what can be created with this innovative material. Liquid metals are changing the way we think about design, and their potential is yet to be explored. We are always available to evaluate and develop ideas and proposals for new finishes, surfaces and textures. Discover our achievements o Come visit us in our showroom in Schio (VI).
