Project Name: "Equilibrio"

"Equilbrio" is a wall mirror, inspired by the stone balance, a meditative discipline aimed at balancing natural stones of various shapes and sizes. The morphology of the stones, smoothed by nature, has inspired the shapes of the wooden volumes and the organic aesthetics of the reflective plate. There is a delicate balance between thought, materials and their function, with the intention of creating a link between emptiness and fullness, light and dark, darkness and light. In the name "Equilibrio" (Balance) there is also a reference to the need to reflect ourselves with naturalness and harmony without becoming victims of aesthetic canons. The concept, with a minimal but organic design, consists of two three-dimensional volumes in solid walnut canaletta with a backlight, a vertical rod consisting of a hollow metal profile with satin brass finish and finally the central mirror with frame also in metal. The vertical rod connects the various elements and allows to power two wooden lamps. The three elements are hinged at the back so that it is possible to play slightly on their inclination, enhancing the creative principle of the "middle way" and adapting perfectly to those who have welcomed "Equilibrio" into their space.
