SEASHELL | Ceramic table By Calligaris
Designer: Gino Carollo
Manufacture year: 2022
Type: Table with ceramic top and concrete base
Seashell is a table with a barrel-shaped ceramic top and sculptural cement base. Seashell's design challenge starts from the use of cement for the base: this material often associated with the idea of "heaviness and solidity", both physical and visual, has been rethought so as to be light, but at the same time resistant. The decision to use soft, sinuous shapes is inspired by the organic forms found in nature, and in particular that of the seashell which, thanks to its surfaces characterised by curves and ribbing, generates structural solidity despite the incredibly fragile material from which it is made. Cement thus acquires a new formal and functional language; the central base offers maximum usability and, depending on the point of view, transforms and generates other forms. A combination of inspiration and functionality, of lightness and strength, a table of great expressiveness, an everyday object transformed into an essential and sculptural figure to be exhibited. Also available with glass top and elliptical shape.
