Their pieces evoke a sedimented ?living culture rooted in borgeois comfort and hospitality. S.MARCO chair, MERAN armchair and VIGILIUS collection mirror the charming image of those spaces, once called fumoir.
“MT”, or the initials that calls these pieces designed by Ron Arad, are pronounced in English as “empty”. The void is the key element of this project. The volume, made through a rotational molding, is in fact carved and shows provocatively the inside, finished in different colors. From the typological point of view also worth […]
