Oblù

The elegant rectangular structure, made of pear wood and supported by two burnished brass semicircles, is characterized and embellished by circular openings that reveal the marbled decoration within, almost as if they were windows or perhaps portholes overlooking onto another dimension. These decorations recall the traditional manual technique of marbled paper in a hyper decorative peacock tail variant. The choice of blue, in the designer’s project, recalls a marine setting seen through a porthole (Oblò in Italian), as the name of the chest recalls.
