Wholesale Zampa Series — Aluminum from War Ordnance

Oxidized steel chain, paw pendant in hand-poured aluminum from the village of Ban Naphia, Laos. Pendant 3 x 3.5 cm. Very lightweight. Length 45 cm. Lobster clasp. Description A paw. Not stylized, not simplified — recognizable: four toes on top, the central pad below, edges that follow the natural shape of a print. It is aluminum poured into a sand mold and left to solidify: the surface retains the texture of the casting, matte, lively, different from every viewing angle. Anyone who has a pet knows — a paw print is one of the most immediate forms there is. No explanation needed. The paw speaks for itself. The aluminum is recovered from unexploded ordnance from the Vietnam War, through demining operations coordinated with UXOLAO. The families of the village of Ban Naphia — Mr. Phet, Thone and the artisans of the Piana dei Giare — melt and shape it by hand. What was once an instrument of war becomes something you wear every day, close to the ones you love. Thin oxidized steel chain, 45 cm. The pendant falls at chest height. Worn alone or layered. Care Aluminum does not oxidize or darken — no maintenance required. The oxidized steel chain may lighten slightly over time — this is normal. To clean: dry soft cloth. No chemicals.
