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.
