Conceived as an exercise in construction, this furniture collection treats each piece as a question posed to wood itself – a question about support, about span, about how mass holds itself up. The dialogue is openly historical: the cantilever, the «clear span», the megastructure, the structural grid – figures drawn from the great modern architectures, here translated to the scale of the domestic interior and recomposed in a quiet choreography of balance and tension.
Every piece stages gravity. Each is a small meditation on the art of building. More than utilitarian object, it operates as architectural model – a tangible reduction of a project that might one day exist, a fragment of a world still to come.
These are not, then, isolated objects. They are architectural essays in miniature. Through the materiality of wood, they distil a constructive intelligence and a structural rigour, and open – discreetly – onto the imagination of buildings yet to be built.
