Design Details
- Unique Properties
- One important innovation in the modern world is to give a chance for a second life to things and materials that have long been considered unsuitable. Keep and don 't take the extra. Try to understand the meaning of the thing, the material, the subject. Learn to consume rather than parasite. Virtually any material can be used twice. Fragments of stone form a new material, the metal having served in its main function for many years, can find a new life in another capacity. The main innovation in the world of devalued things is to learn reasonable consumption.
- Inspiration
- Early fall. The air is fresh and transparent. The sun is still warming, but it is already reluctant. Affectionate warm rays compete with light fresh winds. These touches are very pleasant. Desert autumn beach. Bright dark cool water. Such a bright and beautiful river happens only early autumn. The flow of water, wind and clouds is fused into one infinite rhythm. There are a lot of birds on the beach. They violate or complement this landscape... These are birds. Just birds. You must put a "pin"
- Research

Small pieces of the stone 's big life are connected into one new product. Terrazzo, a new life of natural material, beauty and reasonable use. Metal. It could serve as a building material, painted in many layers. Layers of lost and showered paint tell about time, about other lives of metal. Now his body is filled with a new function, a new light, a new meaning. Light. A necessary need, wrapped in material with history.
