The Architecture of Elegance

Why material matters more than ornament.

“Form is only as honest as the material beneath it.”

Obsidian is not flashy.
It is ancient. Volcanic. Formed under pressure.
It is the antithesis of trend — deep, matte, and silently powerful.

For the Obsidian CUFF-STAY™, we used a sandblasted finish on aerospace-grade stainless steel, then coated it in obsidian black using vapor deposition — not paint, not pigment. The result is a surface that absorbs light, resists time, and commands reverence.

Obsidian says nothing.
It lets presence speak for itself.

Obsidian Finish: Vapor-Deposited Coating on Satin Steel

If gold speaks of celebration…
Obsidian speaks of certainty.
