INSPIRATION

When exploring the expressive power of rhythm and repetition, music is the best inspiration. This piece materializes the concept of ostinato – a motif or phrase that persistently repeats in the same musical voice, frequently at the same pitch. In music and in this piece, the base/basso ostinato constructed as a repetitive pattern is the pillar that supports and emphasizes the rich musical harmonies that are developing on top.

​

Ostinato is a design object that explores rhythm and repetition as ways to transform materials. A dimensional, linear, rigorous and repetitive pattern is over-imposed on the natural fiber of solid wood to create a rich texture, an enhanced sense of materiality. Ostinato is a quietly majestic piece with a pedestal silhouette in clean, minimalist lines, handcrafted from rich materials such as European walnut, and a type of Nero Marquina marble rich in distinct fossilized shells of marine animals.

Ostinato is a monumental dining table that can be successfully integrated into a variety of interior design styles, and paired with a wide range of dining chair models. The table also allows a great deal of customization with a variety of material combinations (wood type and finishes, marble colors).

The OSTINATO motifs and technique are carried along a number of various products: dining tables, coffee tables series, sideboards and lighting resulting in a versatile high-end furniture design collection.
