About the Item
Origami Desk by Barberini & Gunnell
Limited Edition of 25
Dimensions: D 93 x W 195 x H 74 cm.
Materials: Extra-clear crystal glass.
The inspiration for ORIGAMI came from the observation of a simple piece of paper which, being folded a few times according to an antique Japanese technique, transforms into complex and delicate figures of innate fascination and beauty: the origami.
The idea starts off with the concept of taking advantage of the resistance of glass appreciating its optical lightness with the intent to unveil the similarity between the complex art of origami and the workmanship of glass showing its magic transparency.
Both, paper with its light sense of touch and opacity and glass with its physical heaviness and transparency present contrary features but have also a strong attribute in common: the concept of lightness.
The table ORIGAMI was created as a result of this theory.
Limited Edition, signed and numbered by the artists, comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.
Barberini & Gunnell, founded in 2009 in Ancona, Italy by architects Francesco Barberini and Nina A. Gunnell, is the result of a philosophy, thinking of design and architecture as a work of art. The architectural and interior design activity carried out by ‘The Studio’ complements the creations of ‘The Atelier’, which are the result of an artistic playground and highly skilled craftsmanship, a place where artworks and sculptures come to life.
The Studio Barberini & Gunnell designs high-end residential and retail spaces that are out of the ordinary and beyond fashion. Barberini & Gunnell creates refined, timeless, and harmonious environments by inserting collectible design, “talking pieces” that create unique and bespoke homes according to the client’s eclectic and aesthetic desires.
The Atelier Barberini & Gunnell creates artworks and collectible designs, one-off pieces, and limited editions for a small niche of high-end projects; bespoke solutions for luxury and ultra-luxury projects all over the world.
The choice of the most precious materials, the maniacal cure for detail is the basis of our modus operandi aiming to create timeless pieces, using marine grade stainless steel, brass, cast bronze, precious wood essences, marbles, onyxes, semi-precious gemstones, crystal glass, together with the most sophisticated technologies and quality craftsmanship.
This allows us to work for clients like Four Seasons Hotels, The Ritz Carlton, Regent Seven Seas Cruises, Louis Vuitton, Cartier, Dior, Paramount Pictures, Peter Marino Architects, Sotheby’s, Bonhams, Foundation of Maestro Andrea Bocelli, Ridley Scott (House of Gucci) besides our private collectors and clients.
Values such as sustainability, the use of natural materials, the rediscovery of eco-sustainable craftsmanship, and the protection of refined and ancient techniques that are increasingly being lost are the basis of the design.
Barberini & Gunnell’s signature works are exhibited at international art fairs such as Art Basel Design//Miami, Art Miami, Art Basel Switzerland, PAD London, PAD Genève, PAD Paris, PAD Monaco, Salon Art+Design New York…

Galerie Philia
Galerie Philia is an international contemporary sculptural design and art gallery representing emerging and established designers and artists. The gallery is the brainchild of two brothers who share a lifetime passion for art, literature and philosophy. Their distinct academic background sets them apart from their peers, as it sees them following a rhizomatic and transcultural approach in the way they select works. This involves combining elements from multiple cultures in what becomes a network of harmoniously interconnected roots, ultimately revealing the beauty of each unique creation. The gallery’s non-hierarchical curation sits apart from the ephemerality of trends and focuses instead on the true aesthetic quality of the piece – alluring and timeless. Unlike others, Galerie Philia does not focus on a single style – whether minimalist, organic or raw – but rather embraces heterogeneity. The Galerie Philia takes pride in discovering new talents, providing them with multiple international platforms to showcase their latest creations. As well as propelling the newest generation of 21st century collectible design, Galerie Philia also works with internationally known design artists. Galerie Philia has a strong international presence, with galleries in Geneva, New York and Singapore. In addition to their permanent spaces, the gallery organizes temporary group exhibitions and artists residencies in first-class locations around the world.
