COKI BARBIERI / MATERIAL ARCHIVE

​COKI practice lies at the intersection of scientific material research and rigorous studio craftsmanship.

The mineral composite stones are formulated and shaped entirely by hand, strictly excluding synthetic resins or cements. Selected fragments of Italian stone, volcanic earths, and natural pigments are combined with fine-art natural binders: each piece is individually composed, sculpted, and finished by hand.

​Every matrix stems from the study and reinterpretation of ancient technical treatises, centered around the depth of

COKI BARBIERI / MATERIAL ARCHIVE

​COKI practice lies at the intersection of scientific material research and rigorous studio craftsmanship.

​Our stone mineral composites are formulated and cast entirely by hand, strictly excluding synthetic resins or cements. Selected fragments of Italian stone, natural earths, and mineral pigments are combined with fine-art natural binders: each piece is individually composed, sculpted, and finished by hand.

​Every matrix stems from the study and reinterpretation of ancient technical treatises, while each shade emerges from pure earth oxides sourced from identified historical deposits:

​Creta Viridis — Natural green earth, Alpine deposit (Adige Valley, 45° 26' N).

​Sil Atticum — Natural yellow ochre, Etruscan deposit (Val d’Arbia, 43° 19' N).

​Atramentum Vitis — Pure mineral and botanical carbon black.

Preparing the mineral mixture for Catharsis.

Black and red mineral fragments are ground by hand in a mortar before being combined with the other components of the future stone.

Catharsis, vase tall - Corallium & clear glass

A mineral surface shaped around flame-worked borosilicate glass. The coral tone comes entirely from the natural earths and minerals used in the material, changing subtly under different natural light.

Each piece is shaped, carved and refined by hand in the COKI atelier in Italy.

Another piece from the Catharsis collection in black.
Differing from every angle, it's entirely handcrafted, starting with a design and a few elements that serve as proportions during the creation process. The black stone comprises only dark-colored Italian stones and earths. The final texture, whose intensity diminishes as the natural treatment spread over the surface absorbs, is achieved through multiple polishing steps and the use of plant-based substances inherited from medieval and Renaissance techniques.

A slow transformation of mineral fragments and natural pigments into solid matter, without cement, resins or synthetic blinders, inspired by ancient Roman mineral craftsmanship principles.

Mineral fragments are selected,measured and combined into a material developed through continuous research.

After shaping the semi-solid mass by hand, each surface is carved and refined, before the final surface treatments.

Catharsis Collection - Nero Vite
Vase small & Vase tall

Hand-sculpted vessels in mineral stone and flame-worked glass.

Catharsis Collection and explores transformation through fracture and recomposition of matter, drawing from the Latin meaning of catharsis as purification through release.
The glass is flame-worked and shaped entirely by hand, without molds, and the stone is gradually sculpted until a precise structural fit with the glass is achieved.

The stone draws inspiration from Roman mineral craftsmanship traditions and is developed through proprietary mineral-based processes, without cement or synthetic binders. Unlike subtractive carving approaches, the form is first generated through a controlled, continuous formation of material, requiring precision and timing before any refinement takes place.
