URBI et ORBI STRATA Concrete stool

Strata stool/side table was designed by CTRLZAK for the Urbi et Orbi Medius Terra collection in 2024.‎ Strata is a series inspired by natural geological formations (stratification).‎ It captures sedimentation, erosion, and volcanic activity through stacked layers, symbolizing the passage of time.‎ The design is inspired by the Mediterranean region's diverse landscapes and geological phenomena.‎ The overlapping layers of mineral compositions represent the geological history of the Mediterranean and our planet.‎ Strata encourages reflection on our perception of time through geology and the natural world.‎ The Strata concrete stool/side table is designed for indoor and outdoor use and features a unique finish that can only be achieved with concrete as a base material.‎ Each piece is unique and different, holding onto the design concept.‎ It was a construction challenge for us, and we loved it from the first moment when it was still an idea.‎ We developed special production techniques to approach such a natural appearance.‎ Ideal for commercial or residential spaces, available in a cold and warm color palette.‎ Each piece is unique and different, holding onto the design concept.‎ Due to the nature of concrete, this stool acquires its character; the passage of time will age it naturally and will enhance its beauty even further.‎ 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 STRATA URBI et ORBI
