Description
Beam is a multifunction low table made by an old wood, equipped with lead-painted metal top. The rustic appearance of wood, deliberately not treated, allows to exploit its full expressive value. The Irregularities of this old wood have to be considered a quality and not a defect, which thus characterizes each piece.

His approach of the object is determined by a sensitive outlook on today’s world. He attempt to translate in 3 dimensions a world of perception: touch becomes volume, visual becomes color, and frequency becomes shape. Material has its own vocabulary, he attempt to compose with it, to create my own language, based on applying, superimposing and confrontating different materials. Therefore the object gets a meaning. It evokes, insinuates, questions. Single or multiple, its meaning becomes coherent.
