Vaselli EIDOS Stone step stool

Stone step for ofuro bathtub from the EIDOS collection.‎ EIDOS is the result of a collaboration between Vaselli and Oshiro which has lasted over two years, summing up the careful preparation and research done with the designer in the search of a new shape, becoming totally immersed in the reality of the Rapolano area and its travertine stone.‎ The EIDOS concept means not just innovation in design and manufacturing: it is also a symbol of the meeting of distant cultures, sculpted in travertine.‎ The unusual softness of the lines that shape EIDOS is an expression of Kensaku Oshiro’s intent to let the alternating three-dimensional play of light and shadow outline the volumes, drawing shapes that are not limited to the function of the elements, always guided by deep respect deriving from the awareness of working with an ancient material such as stone.‎ For EIDOS, apart from the discovery of new shapes, EIDOS is a new production challenge, setting new limits for lightness and minimal thickness values in the processing of solid stone.‎ The EIDOS bathroom collection includes furnishing solutions for the whole bathroom, with all its elements carved from single blocks of stone.‎
