Inquire here.

Davide Groppi

Davide Groppi presents an exhibition of unique projects, but also of future creations, possible and impossible, displayed in an original way through a path in the darkness.

Sol Side Table
by Ortega Guijarro

The Spanish designer duo Ortega-Guijarro have created a design with an impressive wealth of facets. As strikingly simple as the construction made of glass panels of different sizes may be, at second glance it is quite complex. Depending on the perspective, the incidence of light and shadows, the coloured-transparent elements of the table merge into ever-changing silhouettes and visually trick their observers. Elegant sculpture or functional side table? Sol is not either/or but both at the same time. Inquire here.
