Henge Book #18
The forest contains the poetry of elements
united in symbiosis. It is an intertwining of
lives, lights and shadows that connect to such a
point that they can only be described as a whole.
Hierarchies are lost in a fusion of souls and
uniqueness. They touch and hold one another,
becoming something that is neither one nor the
other but retains their traces. The forest, with
its dense plot of stories and emotions, writes an
ancient tale that inspires Henge’s creation of a
technique that sews together these unique souls:
Forest Fusion. In their union, these fragments of
matter are the full expression of their past, made
by the hands that impart centuries of artisan
knowledge in their fusion.
Each unique piece is selected, cut and
placed in a sartorial painting that bears the
signature of the best Italian craftsmanship.
Processing is the instrument through
which this natural ensemble finds form and
voice, in an intimate story that speaks to
contact with the fingers. Forest Fusion’s tactile
experience is to close one’s eyes and feel the
forest’s breath, its innate depth and perfect
balance. This new technique merges with
Henge’s philosophy of creating a resonance
between kindred spirits that become companions
on a journey inside material and life.
