Characteristics
AION LAMP: The two floor lamp models in the Folds collection seek to convey the notions of Aion and Kairos in order to express the time of God, which is experienced even if it is not tangible. In the first, Aion, which refers to cycles, the constant is harmony, translated into a column that terminates internally in arches, with an upper part that slightly extends beyond the structure. Kairos, interpreted as the precise instant in which events happen, continues with the vertical arrangement on a smooth cylindrical pillar with three lateral apertures emphasizing the circular shape, in an allusion to infinity. When it is switched on, the interaction with the user is an expression of perfect instants and decisive moments. CRONOS BENCH:The concept of beginning and end is translated into the outline of the Cronos bench, emphasized in its design of straight, simple lines. Supported on twelve feet, the piece expresses a model of order, perfection and symmetry. Seen from above, a horizontal line suggests the linear time of chronology.

Characteristics
The Balance chair is worked in wood, with a line that aims for a relaxed sitting posture with the perfect inclination of the back and the seat. It has a solidity rooted in the position of its feet, forming a triangle that endows it with total stability. This in no way sacrifices its lightness, and the position of the chair can easily be changed with a soft and silent movement. The Sensato table is formed by setting two materials against each other—wood and marble or granite—to achieve the refinement and elegance demanded by the standout piece of furniture in a dining room, one of the most important rooms in the house. The wooden base supports a rectangular surface with rounded corners, large enough to seat up to six people.
