Entry Description

This piece models a sleek, lightweight style. The mixture
of colors and the unique and pure style lines project an
air of liberation, rebellion and classic entertainment from
the 20s. The designer has always had a great interest in
organic forms, and a passion for aviation and aircraft
designs from the 20s. These interests merge to create the
Aero collection: furniture thoughtfully designed to evoke
feelings of a successful design era, the 20s, and the
harmony and beauty provided by organic forms. The pure
organic shapes, the retro feel and the intense personality
are combined with solid Tzalam and Beech wood. Each
piece is processed with state of the art machinery, but
the final forms are hand carved, and the multilayer
lacquer paint is applied by hand.
