Alma Mater collection
Portugal, 2026
Micro-welded steel structure powder-coated in bronze finish, hand-poured and hand-chiseled beeswax candles
Designed by AB+AC Architects as part of the Alma Mater collection, the Ring Metal sculpture embodies the exploration of balance between strength and ephemerality. Crafted in iron through a meticulous process of micro-welding, the circular form holds structural precision while appearing visually weightless. Its surface engages in dialogue with beeswax elements through a contrast between permanence and transformation, evoking a continuous cycle of matter, time and renewal. Positioned as both sculptural presence and ritual object, it reflects energy as form in flux.
