SELĒNĒ Sideboard

A design based on the expressiveness of form and material and on what it is able to communicate; to perceptions, sensations and emotions. The result of a research that comes to life from the past both in materials and in technique: nature and knowledge are thus intertwined over time, telling the story of these elements in a temporal fragment.

A design based on the expressiveness of form and material and on what it communicates,

to perceptions, sensations and emotions.

The result of a research that comes to life from the past both in materials and in technique:

nature and knowledge are thus intertwined over time, telling the story of these elements

in a temporal fragment.

The delicate grain and shades of fossil oak blend with a special painting technique taken

from the past: the egg tempera, (a technique of the Italian fourteenth century

handed down thanks to the “Book of Art” by Cennino Cennini – 1370-1440).

In a sort of abstract painting, different elements coexist, the fossil oak structure,

the door of convex shape and the internal parts painted.

Finally, the wooden disc positioned externally invades the space becoming a handle, backlit by

a soft light appears as a silent celestial body, in an imaginary eclipse. Abstraction and emotion, overcome the barriers of time.

PELIA Sideboard

The beauty of recovered and enhanced fossil woods dress the rooms with furnishings that reflect the boundary between natural and thoughtful forms. Pelia represents this border: the exchange between man and nature. Human feeling portrayed in sensations and perceptions, put in contact with an outside: the environment. Natural elements that change with time, each season gives a skin to the wood and man changes inextricably with it.

Pelia gives shape to this process of mutation, a symbiosis suggested by geometric shapes where the material itself is its memory. Geometric elements that tell its story, where a past made up of millennia, sun and light is written, and a present enclosed within an expression.

The trapezoids on the doors and the two metal plates make the piece of furniture original and precious.

The two doors close a single compartment, inside which there is a tempered glass shelf and two solid wood drawers with dovetail joints.
