TERRA

Contrary to everyday artifacts in which use and function are predominant, the earth is what it is, regardless of who we are, what we do and the functions we give it. In thinking of the earth kitchen I imagined an object which, however useful and functional it is, manifests itself with the same force of nature: solid, timeless, abstract. I expressed the immense value of the earth with a form of rigorous geometry and natural materials – stone and wood. Cooking on a stone counter that is millions of years old makes me feel both reverent and fortunate at the same time. The 45° juxtaposition between the worktop and the fronts, together with the small vertical and horizontal gorges, they determine a surface characterized by the presence of regular and cadenced geometries. The columns are also characterized by the same module. The new era of earth is molten bronze. Work poised between art and technology, able to evolve the natural elements with the ingenuity of man recreating a perfect balance between provocation and simplicity. “a pure force, in perfect balance between the force of nature and human strength, an element of weight and art”.
