A gently curved palm. A resolute stroke of an index finger. Or a forceful blow of a knuckle or mallet. A Domani piece, whether in clay, zinc or corten steel, bears witness of its creator. It remembers every touch, and carries a memory forever etched in its permanent shell. It displays traces – of mankind and of the elements. Domani is formed by hand. It isn’t just handmade – each piece shows the unique traces of the palms, fingers and tools that give it its shape. It is a living vessel that carries the imprint of its master – the way exquisite pottery and metal craftsmanship has done since the beginning of time.
