URBI et ORBI
TUS TRIPLE
Round cement coffee table
The TUS side table series, designed by Gian Paolo Venier of OTTO Studio for the Urbi et Orbi Medius Terra collection in 2024.
TUS draws inspiration from the earth, evoking a vegetal feeling with organic forms. This project delves into nature's mathematical precision in creating seemingly organic and imprecise forms, while also being fascinated by pattern repetition. The shape is reminiscent of a cactus garden. A quote from man’s intervention on nature (Le Jardin Majorelle – Marrakesh), the use of nature in architecture, is always a fascinating gesture.
This series comprises four side tables/stools, presenting one of the greatest challenges when our designer Gian Paolo presented his designs to us. We needed to capture a gradual change in color, opting to develop a unique concrete casting technique instead of using paint. Simultaneously, we emphasized the rough texture of the surface in contrast to the tabletop, which, with its polished finish, gives the impression of a segmented liquid cactus.
Ideal for both indoor and outdoor use, suitable for commercial or residential spaces.
Tus tables are available in 2 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.
