2017 — 2023
The Evolution
of Metal Art
Natalia Fedner sculpts light and shadow from her patented stretch-metal textile — thousands of hand-linked metal chains transformed into luminous vessels, canopies, and wearable art. Each piece is engineered like couture and finished like sculpture: malleable, radiant, alive. This is the work beyond the runway — the art practice at the heart of the house.
2017 – 2019
Installations
It began at scale: sweeping chain canopies and a landmark hotel installation, proving metal could behave like fabric — draped, gathered, alive.
