About the Item

Spina T3.2 bench by Cara Davide Dimensions: D 85 x W 40 x H 45 cm Materials: solid nut wood, lacquered MDF. Also available in colors: bordeaux, caramel, dusty red, off-white, and natural wood. Spina is a collection of lacquered tables and seatings. The lacquered surfaces and consistent rhythm of the planes create a visual play of light, shadow, and reflection, adding depth and richness to this already visually graphic collection. The elements of the line are characterized by a dense skeletal base that supports a smaller horizontal plane along its axis. The thicknesses and proportions of the intersecting vertical planes visually saturate the space underneath its top, creating heaviness as if they were the pedestal for the horizontal plane. There is a visual hierarchy from the heavy plinth to the offset top plane and then to what gets displayed upon its surface. The notion of stacked objects and planes makes it a sort of altar with a totemic and primitive depiction. The collection is now composed of 4 elements in 4 lacquered gloss finishing colors. Both size and color can be customized on request. Completely locally made by expert masters, in Veneto, Italy.
