PHOENIX

PHOENIX – The incarnation of eternal force since Antiquity, the Phoenix, a firebird of marvelous beauty, is constantly reborn from its ashes. This capacity for regeneration symbolizes the possibility of reinventing oneself.

An exceptional material

PHOENIX is a range of unique materials, exclusively designed from natural material powders for design and artistic crafts.
Made from animal or plant raw materials, without binders or additives, PHOENIX is 100% natural. Leather, silk, wool, horn… The materials are renewed.

The recovered raw material comes from your deposits of unexploited materials. Your co-products, production scraps, quality deviations and dormant stocks are reborn. At Authentic Material, recycling takes place in a closed loop : the brand is the supplier of the deposit AND user of the upcycled material.

From your deposits of unexploited materials, a new material is born.

At the heart of the promise: the alchemy of powders

After several years of research, we have transferred the material shaping processes from metallic powders for aerospace to organic material powders for the luxury industry.

Our grinding technologies allow the production of high-quality powder. This powder, combined with a unique shaping process, enables the creation of an object made purely from powder.

These patented technologies, combined with our expertise, bring to life a material composed 100% of your own material, with a completely different texture and use.

Alliance of design and sustainability

Recycled and recyclable, this circular revolution ensures a virtuous end-of-life management for your materials.

Created from familiar materials, which, once transformed, offer a completely different texture and use, PHOENIX provides unprecedented creative potential for designing unique pieces or series, allowing ample room for experimentation and exploration.

PHOENIX adopts the aesthetic codes of noble materials and calls upon the skills and tools of master craftsmen.

Made in France manufacturing

In 2023, Authentic Material inaugurated its factory near Toulouse to increase its production capacities.

Steps for creating a material :

Need: Together with the client, we define the material specifications, taking into account the supplied material and the intended application.
Sourcing : As a circular material, the brand sends its by-products to Authentic Material, where they are inspected and codified to ensure confidentiality and traceability.
Grinding : The stock is reduced to a homogeneous powder with a defined and controlled particle size in our factory. The particle sizes are always sub-millimetric. Our technologies are patented, and our machines are custom-designed.
Tools: Depending on the project, the piece can be machined from an existing mold, or a custom mold can be designed and manufactured.
Production: Pressed, heated, and cooled in a mold, the powder transforms into material under heat and pressure conditions specific to each stock.
Finishings : Molded into a rigid material, PHOENIX is compatible with traditional finishing tools for noble materials.

Authentic Material’s commitment to sustainability and innovation is embodied in the development of the PHOENIX material.
