Tom’s Drag is not just a collection of decorative objects: it is a recognizable, free, theatrical visual language. Its sculptures are created to give character to environments and to introduce into interiors a presence that does not go unnoticed, made of color, irony, and artisanal craftsmanship. On the official website, the Sculptures line is described as whimsical, flamboyant, unique: spirited, exuberant, and unique, capable of expressing eccentricity and charm authentically.
For Armando Poggi, a historic luxury retailer in Florence, these pieces represent a precise choice: not mere accessories, but objects with personality, designed for those who wish to furnish with style and a narrative touch. Each Tom's Drag sculpture carries a story made of hands, time, and details, and for this reason, it fits perfectly into a refined and contemporary home design context.
The artisanal soul of Tom’s Drag
One of the most fascinating elements of Tom's Drag is its entirely artisanal manufacturing. Nothing is industrially produced: each piece arises from a long, complex, and meticulous process, from artistic inspiration to paper sketches, up to the hand-carved raw form and final finishing. This choice makes each object different from the others and transforms small variations into a value, not a defect.
For this reason, variations in color, design, tone, small imperfections in glue or color, and slight irregularities are an integral part of the product and testify to its artisanal uniqueness. In a world dominated by mass production, Tom’s Drag instead defends the idea of a living object, with its own nuances and an unrepeatable presence. It is precisely this dimension that makes each sculpture closer to a decorative work of art than a simple piece of furniture.
How a sculpture is born
The creative process of Tom's Drag is almost as fascinating as the final result. It all begins with an idea, with a sketch on paper that takes shape from the artist's imagination. From there, a rough wooden structure is born, hand-carved, which becomes the model for the rubber mold. This is filled with a precise amount of liquid marmorino, composed of ground marble and synthetic resin, then closed and worked manually.
After demolding, the piece is sanded and prepared with a white base. On this surface, the outlines are drawn in pencil before moving on to the longest and most complex phase: hand decoration. Here, colors, shades, contrasts, gold leaf, the final varnishing, and finally, the brand's iconic accessories such as rhinestones, piercings, earrings, eyelashes, and other theatrical details come into play. The result is an object that combines technical precision and visual fantasy.
Pelican Petros L
The Pelican Petros L is a hand-painted sculpture made of high-quality marmorino, designed for those who love decorative objects with a strong visual impact. Its significant size makes it ideal as a focal piece, while the quality of its craftsmanship enhances its collectible value. Each piece is unique, as every brushstroke, every nuance, and every painted detail tells the artisan's manual touch.
Its strength lies in the balance between volume and expressive lightness: it is present, but not heavy; theatrical, but not excessive. The vibrant colors and decorative finishes create an immediate, almost theatrical effect that captures the eye and adds rhythm to the environment. For a store like Armando Poggi, the Pelican Petros L represents exactly the kind of object capable of combining design, quality, and a strong identity.
