The Design
About Guardians Supellex
Custodes est supellex numero definito confecta, quae sellam et mensam continet. Descriptio ab iconographia zoomorpha inspiratur, quae in arte praehistorica atque in artificiis traditis, sicut textura tapetum et figulina, apparet. Sella septuaginta per septuaginta quinque per nonaginta centimetra metitur et ad commoditatem ergonomicam formatur. Mensa septuaginta quinque per centum septuaginta per octoginta centimetra metitur. Unumquodque opus systemate provecto impressionis tridimensionalis cum technologia fibrae vitreae coniuncto producitur, et manu perpolitur. Custodes coniunctionem affectivam positivam inter homines et animalia aedificare intendunt.

- Research

Traditional crafts, such as carpet weaving and pottery, draw inspiration from the zoomorphic iconography. Positive human-animal relationships can provoke positive emotions, in fact, animals have been a source of inspiration for many modern artists and designers.
