SESI

Client / Lithea

Year / 2021

Small, stone tables in different sizes and shapes, recognizable by their unique curved lines which resemble smooth pebbles with flint-like areas, placed one on top of the other like balancing building blocks on the seashore. They are named after the enigmatic, commemorative buildings, shaped like truncated cones or more precisely like the typical Sesi buildings found around Pantelleria island.

From a more formal view they represent a true technical challenge in terms of carving the material as a means to hide the thicker areas where the elements join together and also as a way to aesthetically lighten the look.
