Matteo Thun II

 

Thirty designers are challenged to reuse casks found in  cellars by Maurizio and Davide Riva..
Matteo Thun released the bent oak staves from the metal rings that hold them and recycled them into a wooden screen.
Through simple details, hinges, spacers and pivots, the staves form new linear profiles. The cask is reincarnated in a very different aesthetic and function.

The crossover legs are fixed sideways up through the table top, they are designed like this to reflect the llagoon Venetian landscape.
