Description
LANGKAWI COLLECTION TOUCAN S by Stefan Schöning GARDECO
Enjoy handcrafted art pieces by belgian designer brand Gardeco. In tribute to the global tradition of mask-making, Belgian designer Stefan Schöning has now created his own decorative mask collection called Langkawi. These five anthropomorphic designs are named after Langkawi, a Malaysian island that is home to skilled woodcarvers and to the beautiful hardwood used for this collection. The masks exude rhythm, and are symmetrical in their asymmetry, echoing Schöning’s minimalistic style. The collection includes five masks: Eclipse, Elephant, Offspring, Sunrise, and Toucan. The last one is also available as a limited edition bronze sculpture in 2 different sizes S and L.
Bronze is a precious metal composed traditionally of copper and tin. It has been held in high esteem throughout many eras for its strength and ability to render precise features and various surfaces. Gardeco devotes a long chapter to this material, because it makes sculptures come alive in different ways than any other medium. All of Gardeco’s bronze sculptures are created using the ancient lost wax method. Designs of both upcoming and renowned artists are transformed into timeless and luxurious statement pieces fit for any interior. Most of our bronze sculptures are limited editions and therefore numbered and signed.
