FURNITURE
Continuous research in the animal kingdom brought this majestic table to life: its creation was inspired by hunting trophies, used as decorative elements and fortunately now out of fashion in the name of a more contemporary environmental awareness.
Cristiano and Patrizio Alviti therefore wanted to pay homage to the fascinating atmospheres of “hunting lodges” while maintaining the idea that elegant atmospheres can be recreated without resorting to unnecessary violence.
ANTILOPE
table
Project by Cristiano and Patrizio Alviti
for Officina Alviti
2002
Aluminium, wood and resin
200 x 90 x 75 cm
Can be made to measure
With this piece of furniture, Officina Alviti wants to suggest a solution to recreate splendid “politically correct” Wunderkammers with a contemporary twist.
The supports in sand cast and patinated aluminium are a clear reference to the horns, while the shelf skilfully created using resins suggests the idea of a suede mantle.
