idrija lace collection
ECHOES OF HERITAGE
“The Idrija Lace Collection is Farakaza’s first collection, born from the desire to create pendant lights that carry the soul of Idrija - our hometown’s rich heritage into our home.”
A Fusion of Industrial and Artisanal Heritage
This collection brings together two defining elements of Idrija’s history:
The Rusted Industrial Structures of the Idrija Mercury Mine,
a symbol of resilience, transformation, and the passage of time.
The Elegance of Idrija Lace,
a handcrafted tradition requiring precision and patience, preserved for generations.
Materials & Craftsmanship
Each piece in the collection is crafted from:
Corten steel,
first hand-welded,then naturally aged in the rain for weeks to achieve its characteristic patina.
Reclaimed oak wood,
sourced from historic barns and beams, carefully restored and repurposed.
Idrija lace-inspired patterns
based on patterns from the archives of Idrija Municipal Museum, which holds a vast collection of historic bobbin lace designs.
The unique corten oxidation technique creates a striking contrast between rusted and polished sections, reflecting the delicacy of lace within a robust material. The process requires patience and precision—each pattern is carefully preserved during the rusting phase outside on rain, ensuring that heritage motifs remain visible and permanent.
A Dialogue of Contrasts
The collection is a meeting of opposites.
Warm Wood & Cold Metal
The organic warmth of reclaimed oak contrasts with the industrial resilience of steel.
Robust Corten & Delicate Lace
The softness of lace patterns meets the strength of metal.
Rusted Patina & Silver Reflection
A natural play of light and texture, where oxidation meets polished brilliance.
