About the Item

As a study in scale, the shelf expands upon the language of the other pieces, amplifying its complexity into a larger architectural piece. The interplay between the grid, the vine, and the geometric framework unfolds across exponential surfaces highlighting the intricate of the patterns - how they stretch, wrap, and reveal themselves in different ways. The pattern features a static grid, as well as vines that meander and curve across the lines. It plays on human’s naive attempts at controlling nature, order and chaos. All pieces are made form solid cherry wood, laser-cut and painted by hand in several layers. Orvalho Shelf was part of the performance Exhibition "The Theater of Things" the show transformed the gallery into a domestic stage — an ever-evolving space shaped by the creative voices of seven designers. Each night, one of them slept in the space. Each morning, a journalist, curator, or critic joined for coffee and conversation — exploring what it means to live among collectible pieces. Inspired by radical gestures like Gianni Pettena’s La Casa all’Elba and Joseph Beuys’ Coyote performance, the exhibition is both lived experience and open dialogue. Limited edition. Standard production time is approximately 8–9 weeks once current stock is sold out. One piece available for immediate delivery. For projects involving multiple units, production time may vary.
