Description
Giacomo Moor’s third collection, which comprises a wall-mounted desk, a low and a high console, a table and a coffee table, a screen and a night table, is inspired by the fine vertical structure of stilt houses, the elegance of Flamingos and the oriental world. His fascination with natural wood has led Moor’s research into new scenarios that bridge artificial and natural worlds. As in his previous collections, he focused on the intersections between design and architecture and the boundaries between big scale and small scale, between the object and its environment. This year, he challenged his passion and ability to work with wood by working with a completely new material: layered bamboo. Driven by the lightness and grace of the vertical stem of bamboo, he worked on a lythe to reduce the bamboo to its thinnest state. The swellings that seem to mimic the shape of natural bamboo are nothing but a functional reinforcement for the joints. His other material, sanded glass, dims the original transparency of glass and evokes thin sheets of rice paper, while the layered bamboo guarantees high strength and elasticity. Furthermore, his sturdy sheets of layered bamboo allow him to use the same techniques he uses with wood without experiencing breaks.
