Materials & Process

Every Mono Aurel piece is formed, finished and packed in our own atelier. Nothing is cast in a factory; nothing ships from a warehouse we have never seen.

The material

We work in layered mineral plaster over a sculpted core. The result is a dense, stone-like surface — hand-troweled, sanded and sealed — with the weight and calm of stone at a fraction of its mass. Tones sit in the ivory, bone and warm sand family and soften beautifully with natural light.

The process

1. Forming — each silhouette is built up by hand around its core.
2. Layering — mineral plaster is applied in successive coats, each troweled and cured.
3. Finishing — the surface is sanded, textured and sealed by hand.
4. Resting & inspection — pieces cure fully and are inspected before packing.

One of one, by nature

Because every surface is hand-troweled, texture and tone vary subtly from piece to piece — that variation is the point. Your piece will be one of one.

Care

Dust with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid prolonged direct water contact unless your piece was sealed for sheltered outdoor use — if in doubt, write to us; a real person from the atelier answers.
