URBI et ORBI JAR TALL Cement central coffee table

Jar coffee tables are designed by Gian Paolo Venier for Urbi et Orbi Medius Terra collection in 2024.‎ Jar is a series of three coffee tables made of cast concrete and talks about the hands of the craftsman, the intelligent hands (The Craftsman -Richard Sennett).‎ Inspired by the well-known traditional clay jars, it speaks of the imprecision of manual work by observing its beauty.‎ The ratios of the measurements of these three tables are deliberately forced to give them a soft shape, which tells of the earth.‎ In this case, concrete is treated like clay, a material that aspires to be natural consisting of natural components and therefore precious.‎  The hand-shaped glass on the top follows the organic perimeter shape and with its glossy appearance it gives the sensation of a serene liquid while at the same time, it is an elegant and functional detail.‎ Ideal for commercial or residential spaces, the Jar series can be used indoors or outdoors.‎ They are available in 4 shades of grey, and various colors ranging from warm to cool tones such as beige, terracotta, olive green, dusty blue, etc.‎,   The Medius Terra collection is a captivating celebration of the Mediterranean's soul.‎ More than just a collection, it embodies our essence – a testament to the enduring character of this remarkable region.‎ Inspired by the Genius Loci, the spirit of the place, Medius Terra delves into the heart of the Mediterranean.‎ It's an ode to the sun-drenched landscapes, the vibrant cultures, and the timeless traditions that weave the fabric of this cherished sea and its surrounding lands.‎ The distinctiveness of this collection arises from the fusion of diverse perspectives brought forth by the three contributing designers: Gian Paolo Venier of OTTO Studio, Sotiris Lazou Design Studio, and CTRLZAK.‎ Further info from manufacturer on JAR TALL URBI et ORBI
