About Picasso Primary Function: Credentia
Book Text: Picasso credentia est ad interiora moderna destinata. Hoc opus lignum solidum Tzalam cum tabulis vitreis temperatis coniungit, quae a tergo manu diversis coloribus pinguntur. Lignum machinis computatoriis gubernatis secatur et manu perficitur. Iuncturae mortasiae et cuspidis structuram sustinent, et crura formas angulares habent. Ostia cardines molliter claudentes habent. Sex strata polyurethani superficiem tuegunt et lignum illustrant. Credentia secundum parietem in cubiculo vel in transitu collocari potest, vel ut discrimen inter partes adhiberi potest.

- 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
