A birthday, a lucky number, an anniversary – between 1 and 100. If it is already taken, we draw a free one for you. It appears in Roman numerals inside the case, on the Alcantara lining.

Michelangelo saw himself as a sculptor, not a painter. Even so, around 1511 he painted the image everyone knows on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel: God reaches out his hand, Adam raises his – and between the two index fingers there remains a gap that never closes. With Opus N°1 we take that moment to where Michelangelo liked working best: onto marble.

The hands are UV-printed onto Invisible Grey, a white marble with warm veins of yellow and orange from Antolini’s Exclusive Collection in Verona. Below them goes your signature: the ROXXLYN logo, Michelangelo’s inscription from the Pietà – by tradition the only work he ever signed – or a mark of your own. You choose the colour of the buttons and lens ring freely. Everything is included.

Opus N°1 is made in 100 pieces. Each carries its number in Roman numerals on the Alcantara lining inside, such as XLVII / C. Wish for a number – a birthday, a lucky number, an anniversary. If it is already taken, we draw a free one for you. Once all hundred are gone, this edition will not return.

Every piece is one of a kind. The photos show an example – the veining on your veneer will run differently.

Invisible Grey is a marble from Italy, the country whose quarries have set the standard for marble since antiquity. It is a true marble: carbonate rock that recrystallised completely under pressure and heat deep in the Earth’s crust. Warm veins of yellow and orange run across its white ground, with the odd black line in between – no two veneers are alike.

Polished, its colours gain depth: calm as a whole, lively in the detail. It comes from Antolini’s Exclusive Collection in Verona.

The story behind Opus N°1

A sculptor, a fresco, a stone

The Creation of Adam on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, c. 1511

Michelangelo, portrait attributed to Daniele da Volterra, c. 1544

The sculptor

Michelangelo Buonarroti, born in Caprese in 1475, saw himself as a sculptor all his life. Even letters from the years he spent painting the most famous ceiling in the world he signed “Michelagniolo, scultore” – Michelangelo, sculptor.

“I’ ho già fatto un gozzo” – Michelangelo’s poem with a self-caricature

Four years looking up

In 1508 Pope Julius II called him to the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. Until 1512 he painted there, standing on a scaffold with his head tipped back. In a poem to his friend Giovanni da Pistoia he complained about his aching neck and sketched himself in the margin: contorted, brush raised. The last line: “né io pittore” – I am no painter.

III

A gap that never closes

God, carried by angels, stretches out his arm. Adam lies on the earth, his finger still hanging limp. Between them remains a gap barely a finger wide – the moment just before life leaps across. This is the detail that Opus N°1 carries.

Marble was his language

Michelangelo chose his blocks himself, in the quarries of Carrara. In 1505 he stayed in the mountains for some eight months to do so. He wanted to see the stone before he touched it – its colour, its veins, its flaws.

The only signature

The block for the Pietà came from Carrara too. When it stood in St Peter’s in 1499, Michelangelo heard – so Vasari tells us – visitors crediting it to another sculptor. That night he carved his name into the sash across Mary’s breast: MICHAEL·A·GELUS·BONAROTUS·FLORENT·FACIEBA. It remained the only work he ever signed.

Opus N°1 Creazione

Back on stone

A sculptor painted his most famous image onto a ceiling. Opus N°1 brings it back to where he belonged: onto marble. The hands sit on Invisible Grey from Verona, beneath them a signature – his, ours or yours. And inside, on the Alcantara, a number between I and C that exists only once.

A hundred pieces, no two alike: their own veins, their own signature, their own number.
