About the Item

Beginning and end, cycles and moments are the concepts Sebastián Ángeles has reflected on for the new project he presents as part of Design Week México, bringing together the harmony of symmetry, the solidity of stone, and the ethereal character of light. The project draws on an evocation of the three concepts used by the Ancient Greeks to refer to time: Chronos, Aion and Kairos, while underpinning the timeless character so emblematic of the designer’s creations, in three elements that are based on refined forms of a profuse minimalism. The concept of beginning and end is translated into the outline of the Chronos bench, emphasized in its design of straight, simple lines. Supported on twelve feet (measurement used for time), the piece expresses a model of order, perfection and symmetry. Seen from above, a horizontal line suggests the linear time of chronology. Traditionally depicted as a straight line, Chronos symbolizes the linear nature of time, with a clear beginning and end. The bench, characterized by a central straight line and supported by twelve legs, serves as a representation of Cronos himself, as well as the number twelve. The significance of twelve lies in its association with order and perfection, exemplifying absolute harmony. Moreover, this number finds omnipresence in various units of measurement. For instance, a foot consists of 12 inches, calendars and clocks are structured around the concept of twelve: twelve months in a year and twenty-four hours in a day. Additionally, each hour is divided into 5 × 12 minutes, and every minute is further divided into 5 × 12 seconds. With the Folds collection, Sebastián Ángeles introduces functional elements that bring personality to interior design concepts and invite conversation around the three concepts of time—beginning and end, cycles, and moments—which are fundamental to the way human beings shape their destiny.
