steel anniversary gift

"I pay tribute to love, the love of a couple, love for the family, children, friends. Love toward the world in which we live, so that it is better and better. A world filled with peace and hope – all this is reflected in my work through a simple heart. If you look closely, you'll see that they are two halves. Wedding rings form the heads of two people who hold hands," says Peruvian artisan Marco Floríndez. He sculpts this evocative piece of red steel.

The urban elegance of this wine bottle holder is practical and chic. Peru's Marco Florindez, designs the bottle holder, which is forged of recycled steel with an artistic message of environmental magnitude.

The imaginative mind of Armando Ramirez transforms scrap metal into a sleek, black and silver chess set. Ramirez collects the leftover metal pieces off a die machine and shapes them into the pawns, horses, and parts of the kings, which also feature cogs from a car's electrical system. The queens are made from screws, auto part cogs and bearings. The bishops are shaped from spark plugs and the towers from cogwheels. The board is made from a metal sheet and features ornate iron wires and bendix caps taken from a car.

Please note it is the artist's intention not to give his sculptures a fine polished finish, therefore smudges and scratches may be present. The finish can vary from matte to shiny, as each chess set is a unique piece of handcrafted art.

Marco Florindez celebrates family with this beautiful sculpture inspired by his relationship with his daughter. Depicting a father and daughter who face each other, he creates the shape of a heart from their two bodies. At the same time the heart shapes alfa, symbolizing the infinite love they have for each other. Applications of cotton fabric complete the steel image.
