EIDOS - STONE SCREEN
Manufactured by: Vaselli
Designed by: Kensaku Oshiro
The characteristic stone screen designed by Kensaku Oshiro takes up the challenge of creating a divider in stone that makes the matter light, allowing the light to pass through it and to play with it. An extreme approach in treating the material, without distorting it.
In the designer’s vision, the visual lightness can’t be separated from having a complete stone element. As usually happens, this requested a huge work for lightening and reinforcements that are hidden inside the screen. The hollowed panel are made with travertine thicks that are shaped, carved, to place/fit the reinforcement steel, and then they are glued and hollowed to create the light transparency effect. The self-supporting structure is fixed with an efficient joint system that keeps it firmly on the elegant brushed steel base. An element where the stone discovers new shapes and a never-seen lightness, without losing its own spirit.
