Ciocio Hand Blown Glass Side Table in Amethyst Color with Walnut Wood

A New York-based design studio, Ocrum has become known for creating furniture, lighting, mirrors and decorative accessories that encompass a timeless yet contemporary aesthetic. Ocrum draws inspiration on both vivid memories and the wonder of time, merging classical sensibilities with bold innovation and Italian craftsmanship. The collection takes cues from Creative Director Sean Zhang, who is known for his intuitive design sensibility, sharp attention to detail, and minimalist lifestyle. All of his pieces share a poetic story that calls to mind the vibrancy of life itself. Zhang studied at the Polytechnic University of Milan in Italy, his design journey beginning with courses in Product Design. He then relocated to the United States, where he earned his Master's Degree in Industrial Design at the Rhode Island School of Design(RISD). All the while, he was reminiscing on his time in Italy, which had ignored a passion for craftsmanship inside him. At RISD, he took a hands-on approach to ceramics, textiles, wood, and blown glass. It was throughout this period of his life that he came to a new understanding of his own creativity and his approach to design, developing principles, and a medium through which he would connect with others. Ocrum's work has been featured in such internationally renowned publications as Elle Decor, Elle Décoration France, Forbes, Interior Design, Surface Magazine, Metropolis, etc.
