With his Compressioni project, Paolo Ulian has conceived a new way of forming sheet metal, a method that reveals uncanny expressivity. The containers are first made on a lathe, then compressed to obtain the final shape. The folds created on the bottom of the objects are almost magically arranged in geometric patterns – squares, pentagons, hexagons and octagons – giving fascinating regularity to the elements' unique differences.

Aurora G. ★★★★★

The way the sheet metal is compressed after being lathe-turned gives each piece this almost sculptural quality that changes with the light. It's genuinely striking how the process shows through in the final form, making it feel more like art than just barware.

Andrew E. ★★★★★

I wasn’t sure what to expect from a piece that’s compressed after being lathe-turned, but the subtle ridges it leaves along the body catch the light in a way photos don’t do justice. It feels almost sculptural on the shelf, a real conversation starter when I pour drinks.

Sophia W. ★★★★★

The lathe-turned then compressed construction is what sold me—the ridges catch the light in a way photos just don't capture. It's a conversation piece on the shelf, and the metal feels solid without being heavy. I've already used it as a centerpiece for two dinners, and it holds up beautifully.
