Altar
PrevSculpture and functionality come together to rediscover the rich Mexican artisan heritage through innovative means and languages. Meticulous craftsmanship leaves marks and trajectories in the flat and pristine surfaces, while the senses are attracted by the recovery of natural materials and the unprecedented sensory contrasts that derive from them. Inspired by pre-Hispanic altars, these low tables, which are declinable in a wide range of finishes: ceramic, concrete and cedar wood, mark the first collaboration between Tacchini and EWE Studio, a project in which tradition is reflected in design to forge ideas that have substance and meaning.
