Picasso se yon credenza ki fèt pou enteryè modèn. Pyès la konbine bwa Tzalam solid ak panno vè trampe ki penn alamen sou do yo nan diferan ton koulè. Bwa a koupe ak machin ki kontwole pa òdinatè epi li fini alamen. Jwenti tenon ak mortez kenbe estrikti a, epi pye yo gen fòm angilè. Pòt yo gen chanyè ki fèmen dousman. Sis kouch polireton pwoteje sifas la epi mete aksan sou bwa a. Credenza a ka mete sou yon mi nan yon chanm oswa yon koulwa, oswa itilize kòm yon separatè ant zòn.

Production Technology: The asymmetric forms of this piece have been achieved through a combination of Italian machinery and expert hand assembly and finish craftsmen. The wood is Tzalam, jointed by the technique of mortise and tenon, covered with glass panels painted from behind and sealed. Doors have a self soft closing hinges and structure of Tzalam solid wood. The finishing is made with polyurethane on 6 layers that highlight the wood richness, and gives durability to this piece of furniture.
Design Challenge: The biggest challenge in this particular piece was the designing of the wooden joints with glass, and adjustments of the structure to glass, and the process to paint the glass in an industrial and yet unique way to paint all 5 pieces of front in the same alignment and similar look.
Also a specific search of materials was made in order to find the correct ones that would give the desired effect and engage with all the rest of the elements in a practical, yet resistant way, without affecting the originality and luxurious projection.
Research: It implicated an extensive study of the work of Pablo Picasso, and technology needed to paint in several shapes the glass panels from behind. From there the designer extracted the purest and conceptual forms in order to make a more modern and interactive design.
Inspiration: The intention of the designer in this collection is to inspire to dare through a provocative and energetic mysticism. The angular shapes take the eye by surprise, inviting them to stop and contemplate this piece of furniture, as a spectator would do in front of a painting. Inspired by the whimsical but studied strokes of the painter Pablo Picasso, he tries to propose a bold avant-garde conceptual design.
Project Duration: The project started on February 2016 and was finished on August 2017.
Operation Flow: This piece can be used to bring character to any wall in a room, hallway or as a divider from elements, it intends to inspire and produce an art interactive ambiance of high interior design with a strong conceptual element... It projects emotions with color full back painted by hand and costume, which has make each piece a unique collectable piece of art.
