Hyperion

Creator: Pedro Cerisola
Offered by: Marion Friedmann Gallery

Description
Hyperion is conformed by eight handcrafted modules, each fabricated from a single CNC cut solid tzalam wood piece. The union of the pieces is based on the geometry of the octahedron.
Tzalam, known as the Caribbean walnut, is a tropical high-density wood that grows in Southern Mexico. Its color is a mixture between red and yellow giving a cinnamon like tone and it is resistant to weather conditions like water and humidity.
The assembly of the pieces, the polishing and the final finish in natural oil are carried out manually.

The research of Cerisola is centered on the beauty of geometric constructive principles found in nature and how these systems can be applied to the design and fabrication of modular structures. The findings made are applied to the design of furniture, sculptures, playgrounds, lamps, toys and other daily life objects.
Cerisola states: “The game is the engine of everything. For any human and creative activity it is fundamental to achieve a look from it”. Pedro Cerisola´s work is in private and in public collections, such as the University Museum of Sciences UNIVERSUM in Mexico City. His work has been exhibited at the Museo Rufino Tamayo, Museum of Modern Art in Mexico City and the Franz Mayer Design Museum, among others.
