Fernando Mastrangelo's work has been focused on issues of climate change since 2015. He has created works that embody melting glaciers and forlorn landscapes being plagued by floods and fires as the world reaches its climactic breaking point. Now the designer is introducing his next conceptual focus through a series of lamps that drive a new narrative; one that is less focused on the destruction of the planet, but rather the ways in which mother nature is destined to take back her rightful place in the ecosystem through brute force. The Persistence of Nature is a surrealist interpretation of nature colliding with itself to find its new harmony and reveal itself in ways we've never experienced before.

Powdered Glass, Hand-Dyed Sand
A layering of glass, sand, and silica, the made-to-order coffee table consists of gradients of tones and textures suggesting layers of earth, mountain ranges, otherworldly skies and bodies of water. The hand-dyed granules are stratified with delicate veins and ombre effects to create an organic piece of furniture as escapism.

White Cement, Copper BB
Composed in a language of landscape-oriented abstraction, the made-to-order coffee table is cast from hand-dyed white cement and copper bbs. Poured by hand over the bb pellets, the white cement merges the materials to create an effect evocative of a mountain capped in a mass of snow and sky.

Hand-Dyed Cement
The Ghost dining table is cast entirely in cement. With an initial form carved in foam by a robotic arm, layers are poured to create the large-scale, heavy, and pristine piece to emulate the gravity of nature and with the softness of carved cement and snow.

White Cement, Hand-Dyed Sand
A contrast of smoothness and textured striations, the made-to-order table is cast entirely from hand-dyed cement and sand. Packed by hand within the smooth cement, the varying blue and black granules form an organic texture to contrast the structural shape reminiscent of a wintry horizon.

A layering of powdered glass and sand, the made-to-order bookcase consists of gradients of tones and textures suggesting layers of earth, mountain ranges, otherworldly skies and bodies of water.

Powdered Glass, Hand-dyed sand
Through a layering of hand-dyed sand, the painting is organically textured and strikingly unadorned. The mass of deep blue granules, an homage to Yves Klein, come together in a terrain-like abstraction.
