FOLLOWING THE TIDE
Coffee-table Collection
This collection is inspired by the lagoons and cenotes in the state of Quintana Roo in Mexico: the movement of the tide and the change in topography reveal different materials shaping the intersection of earth and water. "Following the Tide" is an explosion erupted from the circular nucleus, dispersed into crushed Forest Green marble and aggregates of recuperated brass. It is composed in a pigmented resin on an oxidized bronze base.

TASTING THREADS
Tableware Collection
“Tasting Threads” is a Murano tableware collection of unique mouth-blown pieces by local Venetian craftsmen. The collection is a series of plates and drinking glasses designed with different dimensions to create a dynamic and playful table setting for different modes of consumption and dining; small glasses for shot drinks, wide and small glasses for beverages with ice, long narrow glasses for water, flat plates and deep bowls for food sharing as the traditional Lebanese ‘Mezza’. Their rich texture is attained by infusing recuperated steel threads within the Murano glass, creating uncontrolled shapes. The glass, tainted with wide hues of color, ranges from alessandrite and amethyst to amber, ruby and cobalt.
