This furniture is one more example of how beautiful can be the nature itself just a little bit highlighted by some modern means. These tables by One & Co and produced by Council are made of Douglas Fir with all its knots, cracks and grain remained. The wood is just covered with silver to highlight all these imperfections. These two layers are so different but look great together. All the firs are decades old that’s why they look so impressive. The two tables – 47 table and Periodic table would decorate any modern and even futuristic space.
The Cronotime clock was designed by Pio Manzù as a promotional item for Fiat, later produced by Ritz-Italora in 1966. It was re-issued by Alessi from Italy. The shape of Cronotime is toric (part of a circular section ring) totalling a 1/6 of circumference. The shape in turn separated into two equal parts which swivel, allowing you to modulate the direction in which the dial is pointing with respect to the support surface.
