Cowgirl Oxidized Steel Side Table
by Toro Manifesto · Mexico City, Mexico

This oxidized steel side table is a contemporary Mexican design piece from the Cowgirl collection by Amalgame Studio, featuring a timeworn patinated surface developed through controlled oxidation. This oxidized steel side table explores steel as a living material, where industrial hardness is transformed into a textured surface that records time and use.

The Cowgirl collection, designed by Amalgame Studio for Toro Manifesto, investigates steel as a surface in constant evolution. Through controlled oxidation processes, the oxidized steel side table develops a natural patina, with tonal and textural variations that evoke the memory of skin and the passage of time.

Rooted in Mexico’s vaquera traditions, the conceptual framework reflects resilience and independence. In a horizon where cattle have vanished, the cowgirl remains as a symbolic figure, carrying the legacy of territory and labor. This narrative is embedded within the oxidized steel side table, linking cultural identity with contemporary design.

Each piece is handcrafted, resulting in unique variations in oxidation, tone, and surface texture. This contemporary side table functions as both a utilitarian object and a collectible design piece, defined by its material depth and cultural narrative. By Amalgame
