The functional manifesto and pure geometry

The Bauhaus piece pays direct homage to the famous German school that championed the principle that form follows function.

It is an expression of the symbiosis between engineering and tactile comfort, where structural rigour is combined with a refined aesthetic language.

The top, made of maritime plywood, is covered in linoleum, a material comprising a jute base waterproofed using a natural mixture of linseed oil and cork powder.

This element rests on a geometric stainless steel frame, which enhances the piece’s precision and stability.

The marine-grade plywood ensures solidity and resistance to moisture, serving as the ideal base for the linoleum covering.

The result is a piece with clean, architectural lines, which elevates industrial functionalism to the realm of contemporary luxury, where form, material and function coexist in perfect harmony
