A combination of beauty of the material, the wood basis and ceramic or leather
superstructure, is bound in this collection by the common element: a calotte. A subtle
association to the spherical form, to a segment of this perfect shape, is immersed in
the warmth of wood, in a curved mould, like a negative embracing a body. The piece
is completed by a flat surface with a contrasting tone and texture, ceramic or leather
inserts, trimmed with wood, like an elegant cross-section, a calotte surface.
The functional horizontal place remains visually accentuated by means of the
material’s aesthetic sensations, textures in seductive light and dark versions,
accompanied by the imperative of the tactile, of touch.
