About the Item

WMF small table by MOB Limited editions of 5 + 1 prototype Designer: Alejandra Prieto and Pablo Valle (Chile) Dimensions: H 72 x W 70 cm Material: Polished bronze, Chestnut wood, Shou-Sugi-Ban (Yakisugi) treatment The WMF is a small pedestal table: a charred wood base supports a round table top in polished bronze. The base is made up of two carved chestnut wood pieces joined by a small bronze disc that is likely to rust by the presence of air moisture. The light reflects off the table’s polished surface hinting at ancient Chinese and European bronze mirrors (produced long before the discovery of glass). On the other hand, the use of charred wood draws from Yakisugi, a pre-modern Japanese technique to seal wood. The wood grain stands out in a dark black finish in sharp contrast to the metallic luster of polished bronze. Hence the WMF table aims at bringing together different historical times, the outcome of a modernist interpretation of timeless materials. MOB is an international design incubator that develops furniture projects designed by artists and architects. Based in Lisboa and Santiago de Chile, MOB aims to invite young creators from different parts of the world to present proposals that confront their points of view around a piece of furniture. Through exercises based on their own local realities, these pieces are located in a global scene and then finally return to the intimate context of their daily use. MOB invites creatives with both emerging and established careers, always under the premise of looking for fresh and particular voices with their own style and challenging their contexts. In this way, they want to materialize personal research into products capable of transmitting the complexity of social and formal thinking. MOB aims to produce commercial pieces that establish connections capable of developing crossovers between multiple places, creators, users, and ideas, through a production model based on commissioning design by invitation, manufacturing and distributing certificated limited editions by MOB ensuring high production standards.
