Módulo Piedra

We are very attracted to the pure, the enigmatic and the elemental of the ancestral. We paid attention to the simple, complex and beautiful of the arches and aqueducts Romans, we delve into the textures of the Mediterranean stucco,and the timelessness of the blocks of granite or marble recently extracted from the quarries through the millennia. We took these images and mixed them with a friendly, primitive vibe, more like the Flintstones than true Neanderthals. Its curved lines, skin-like formica, and well-defined details soften its vibe and make it homey and pleasant.

Conceptually, as we built it, its wealth was revealed to us. It was an exhaustive work of several weeks, of 2 - 4 people at a time, kneading paper pulp, gluing paper pulp in the mornings, afternoons, nights and early mornings. It became increasingly clear to us that there were many opposing values ​​in Modulo Piedra. Dichotomies everywhere. The heavy of the rock vs the light of the paper. The hardness of the stone vs the softness of the paper and the "skin". The organic vs the inorganic. The seriousness and solemnity of the ancestral forms vs. the friendly curves. Formica, industrial, synthetic and quick to acquire and apply vs manual, human and slow to make and paste paper pulp.
