§ 01 — Preface
The term pyroclast points to formal kinship, not to a design intention.
The slate structure remains untreated. Its fracture lines and transitions shape the appearance and reflect the tension between geological mass and constructive order.
§ 02 — Structure
The tie divides into dark, overlapping slate plates whose chevron cut yields to the movement of the body.
§ 03 — Construction
Low material thickness and a weight-reduced, segmented construction keep the tie light. Movable connections allow the drape of a classic tie.
The tie is put on over the head instead of being knotted. The leather band carries the slate segments, which lie flat on the sternum.
