Rediscovering walnut
Lacquered finishes and geometric minimalism. The grain of this prestigious, extraordinary timber tells the story of time more eloquently than a thousand words.
I consider imagining a new object to mean imagining something destined to endure in time and memory. Nothing excessively creative. Nothing fashionable. A combination of craftsmanship and environmentally responsible materials.
The defining feature of this piece lies in the contrast between its minimalist forms and the strength of European walnut.
Lacquered iron supports complete an essential interplay of solids and voids.
Less is more, as always.
Invisible substance
Important furniture deserves hardware of equal quality. Latest-generation Blum push-to-open, soft-close systems are feats of engineering designed to work for decades even under substantial loads. Once the drawers are inserted, the mechanisms remain completely invisible, preserving a clean and functional design.
