Bird of Paradise
A paradise bird grown from metal — thirty silver monstera leaves, a crown eight metres across, shading the bar built around its trunk on the Sea of Galilee shore.

Built proof
Real fabrication and installation views from the studio archive.
Night on the shore — the crown carries the promenade light
Going up — the crown whole, the bar taking its scales
The canopy up, the plaza still in boxes
First leaves on the stems
From the air — a metal crown among real palms
Last nights of the build
The stems at night, the far shore behind
The crown finished before the plaza
Under the canopy, the light climbing
Morning — first leaves against the lake
Through the glass, at sunset
Open — the bar working under the crown
Dusk on the path
Every path leads under it
Midday silver, real shade
The work and the lake it lives on
Bright silver at noonSpecifications
Fabrication
Laser cutting
Every panel starts flat — cut from the fabrication model’s own files in aluminum, stainless or copper.
Press-brake bending
The aluminum frame folds to shape on a press brake; every angle lives in the model.
Bolted, never glued
Every panel is serviceable and the bolts are the ornament — fitted by hole size across the piece.
LED under the skin
A 3 mm frosted acrylic layer sits beneath the cladding; the seams take the light.
Two ways to own it
Fully assembled
The finished piece — checked, packed, delivered ready.
DIY kit
Precision-cut, pre-finished parts, hardware and clear instructions — assembles IKEA-style, studio-supported. Tools not included unless noted.
