The finishing is made with polyurethane on 6 layers that highlight the wood richness, and gives durability to this piece of furniture.

Also a specific search of materials was made in order to find the correct ones that would give the desired effect and engage with all the rest of the elements in a practical, yet resistant way, without affecting the originality and luxurious projection.

It projects emotions with color full back painted by hand and costume, which has make each piece a unique collectable piece of art.

Research

It implicated an extensive study of the work of Pablo Picasso, and technology needed to paint in several shapes the glass panels from behind. From there the designer extracted the purest and conceptual forms in order to make a more modern and interactive design.

Inspiration

The intention of the designer in this collection is to inspire to dare through a provocative and energetic mysticism.
