After a lifetime working in the industrial and metalworking sector, I returned to a personal passion: creating design objects with simple, honest materials.
In recent years, I have dedicated myself to handmade pieces made entirely from steel. Corten steel is a unique type of steel that, through specialized treatments, develops a permanent dark brown surface oxide layer without corroding. Each piece has its own look and evolves differently, making it truly one of a kind. Every object changes over time, right along with you. Rufus Design is about clean forms, durable materials and objects with a quiet but strong personality.
