Etreinte is a functional work of art inspired by the image of a rock opening to reveal a rare material within.
Its cylindrical form suggests a solid mineral presence, interrupted by an irregular opening that reveals a brass-toned interior. The exterior, wrapped in crumpled parchment, combines softness with pronounced folds, creating both tactile and visual contrast.
The smoked quartz top, with its subtle tonal variations and mineral depth, reveals almost cloud-like nuances that interact gently with light. It extends the structure in a natural balance between mass and translucency.
Etreinte asserts a singular sculptural identity at the intersection of art and furniture.
