Draga and Aurel, Flare Dining Table, IT, 2024

Draga & Aurel’s unparalleled artistry is evident with this extraordinary resin dining table – a true testament to innovation. No other table of this scale has been crafted from resin, and their remarkable ability to blend individual pieces into a cohesive work of art is truly groundbreaking.

The tabletop’s radiant surface captures both natural and artificial light, creating captivating refractions that evoke a luminous interplay of colors. Its design defies visual gravity, giving the impression that the colors are suspended. Todd Merrill Studio exclusively represents Draga & Aurel outside of Italy.

Inspired by the intricate three-dimensional color studies of South Korean artist Jiyong Lee and the compositional brilliance of Vasa Mihich’s acrylic sculptures, Draga & Aurel delved into the concept of refraction. By strategically combining colored Lucite sheets of varying shapes and thicknesses, they achieved a mesmerizing spectrum of hues. Each piece is precisely cut and glued, resulting in an astonishing interplay of light and color—a revelation for anyone who beholds it. These multifaceted objects, with their ever-changing appearance from different angles, epitomize the essence of a flare, representing intuition, revelation, and the joy of discovery. In the words of Obradovic, “Flare is a spark of color that explodes, frees itself, and takes shape. It’s joy, experimentation, intuition, and freedom of expression.”
