Breaking the conventional codes, the Utopia armchair stands as a hedonic form of art. Its 38 irregular strands awaken a pleasurable desire to contemplate it as a utopian throne. This high- end piece embellished with handcrafted details stands out as a mutant cubic block with an unearthly aura.
DRAMA develops a hedonistic approach about creation that transports us into another world, believing in the significant design, a strand against the massification of banal, innocuous products. Add a meaning to function, a reason. The belief in Utopia as a new vocabulary for the generations to come.
