24K gold. On any material that deserves it.

By vapor, not by leaf. Gold that preserves the grain, the hand, the suppleness - without altering what makes the material alive.

DURABILITY

Outlasts traditional gilding. Martindale and Veslic tested. Wear, moisture, UV - decades guaranteed in high-touch environments.

SUSTAINABILITY

The most responsible gold is the gold we don't extract. Our process uses 70-90% less gold than traditional gilding. Certified Life Cycle Analysis.

VERSATILITY

Calfskin, exotic leathers, wood veneers, silk, feathers, titanium, ceramic. Where traditional gilding fails, our gilding holds - permanently.

The innovation

Not a layer. A transformation.

Gold becomes vapour. It settles atom by atom onto the host material. What holds is not a layer - it is a transformation.

A perfectly dense and homogeneous micro-deposition
A gold layer that stays intact, flexible and chemically stable
A refined yet preserved material - feel, smell, texture

FAQ

Advice and answers from Daumet

Is this related to traditional gilding?

No. Traditional gilding applies gold leaf by adhesive - it sits on the surface. Our process vaporizes gold at atomic level - it becomes part of the material. The difference is permanent.

What makes it different from other gold treatments?

One thing: the gold lives within the material, not upon it. The grain, the hand, the suppleness of the leather or feather are preserved. The gold is not a coating - it is a resolved state of the material.

Which materials can receive it?

Most tanned and finished leathers, exotic skins, feathers, wood veneers, silk, titanium, steel, ceramic, and complex alloys. One requirement: no traces of silicone in the finishes. We test each new substrate before any production run.
