Santos Dumont Airship is a handcrafted wall sculpture that celebrates the iconic aircraft of Alberto Santos-Dumont – the extraordinary Brazilian aviation pioneer whose elegant flying machines became a legendary presence above the turn-of-the-century skies of Paris. Capturing the romance and daring of early aviation, this piece reimagines historical engineering in a contemporary industrial form, bringing history and craftsmanship together into a single striking object.

The sculpture is engineered to interact naturally with ambient light, creating the illusion that the aircraft is suspended within the structure. This translucent effect is achieved by using an original Furt_Ori illustration based on vintage photograph of the airship printed directly onto a transparent acetate sheet, which is then secured and protected behind high-quality acrylic glass. This print is housed within a geometric frame constructed from steel bars. As the light changes throughout the day, the structural metal lines project crisp, shifting shadows through the transparent layer and onto the wall, transforming the historical image into a three-dimensional experience and a natural focal point for the room.

Reflecting true handmade integrity, each piece is crafted and assembled in Spain within the Artandshadow studio in Granada. The frames are built from durable steel bars, welded by us, and finished with a distinct silver iron sheen. Because every sculpture is built individually by Furst_Ori, each one carries subtle variations that give it an individual character and a lasting material value.

This original design interior object offers versatile display options, arriving ready to be wall-mounted or placed as free-standing desktop art decor on a shelf or desk. It is well-suited for modern interiors, minimalist spaces, and executive office decor, providing architects, interior designers, and collectors with a refined combination of industrial art and aviation history.
