Compage is a modular system of small concrete tabletop accessories, designed by Martinelli Venezia studio for Pulkra, conceived to be used in different settings. Its use of concrete as an expressive material evokes the aesthetics of brutalist architecture: rational and essential, yet still possessing its own expressive plasticity, which imbues the object with a certain formal strength.
The term Compage has Latin roots and means "structure, union", and was chosen because the elements that make up the collection can be assembled and arranged in multiple ways to create a unique and personalized structure. Two container trays, a candlestick, and an incense holder are all characterized by very thin thicknesses thanks to Pulkra's meticulous processing techniques, giving the project both visual and constructive lightness.
