CHAUD SIDE TABLE SERIES DUO
In this unique piece, paper and stone are combined to keep each other in balance.
Two materials that, on sight, resemble but are in essence significantly different; introducing a juxtaposition which behaves otherwise through observation than through touch. It should therefore come as no surprise that at the origin of this design, a research into materials is to be found, a consideration of resources that reaches beyond a purely aesthetic or even functional analysis.
The upright (supporting) structure - articulated through a pillar- shaped column alluding to a classicist idiom - is made of Chaud Paper Composite. A unique mixture of mainly surplus paper and stone dust. Yet as much as this material approximates the appearance of a stone, it offers possibilities that no stone could achieve. For one, the composite is light and flexible, and before being pressed and dried, allows to take on any shape imaginable. Furthermore, when thoughtfully designed, it is more than strong enough to carry the beautiful Beige dei Medici. Thus, allowing an encounter that creates an interplay between the ambient light and the subtle differences in textures, between massiveness and delicacy, stubbornness and flexibility and where one part feels cool and the other warm.
