DNA Lamborghini Platinum Edition
D'ORO Collection and Automobili Lamborghini present DNA Lamborghini Platinum Edition, a limited edition of 60 copies created to celebrate the company’s 60th anniversary.
Sixty years from its founding, Lamborghini continues to celebrate another important milestone. Through its visionary and daring approach, Lamborghini has always surprised the automotive world with constant evolution that has made it a pioneer while staying true to the brand’s authenticity. So 2023 is an important year that both celebrates the past and illuminates what is to come, as expressed in the 60th anniversary motto “the future began in 1963”.
D'ORO Collection has taken part in this anniversary by creating the special Platinum Edition in a limited number of volumes.
DNA Lamborghini Platinum Edition is a one-of-a-kind object, and for D'ORO Collection it is the first book to be made in platinum. Designed with meticulous attention to detail and exquisite design, the book is the centerpiece of a set that includes several exclusive items.
The shield and the bronze bas-reliefs inspired by the typical features of Lamborghini's super sports cars, are made with the lost wax technique and then gilded by immersion in a platinum bath.
To make DNA Lamborghini Platinum Edition, the Master Goldsmiths use a technique, which dates back to Roman times: it involves 4 different castings of white-hot bronze poured into 4 different moulds to obtain all the details, including the central shield. It is a complex operation that involves several steps and many days of work. Once the molded bronze has cooled, the resulting bas-relief is checked and chiseled to bring out even the smallest detail before being dipped in a pure platinum bath.
The pages of DNA Lamborghini Platinum Edition are made of handcrafted cotton paper, made of 100% high quality pure cotton cellulose. Each single sheet is obtained by laying out, shaping, pressing and drying the cellulose mixture. This operation is repeated more than 80 times for each book.
Cotton paper is white, thick and pleasantly rough to the touch. Thanks to its properties, the contents of DNA Lamborghini Platinum Edition, be they texts or photographs, shine with brilliance and character.
Each page of DNA Lamborghini is printed by means of platen presses using different plates, while the photographs are printed by means of modified rotary printing, slightly changing the composition of the cotton paper, to obtain unprecedented purity of the images.
Bookbinding is done entirely by hand. Bone folders are used before arranging the individual sheets on the wooden frames. Being faithful reproductions of the medieval instrumentation, they make it possible to keep the tradition alive still today and to make unique books entirely sewn by hand. Using a wooden frame, the craftsman begins stitching with needle and cotton thread. An operation that requires consistency, precision and patience and is repeated page after page until the completion of the book.
Once sewing is completed, DNA Lamborghini Platinum Edition is placed under a manual press for three days.
The result is an unparalleled book with jewel-like covers that combine hi-tech with goldsmith techniques, enclosing more than 380 pages printed and manually sewn one by one.
