Description

The NARCISO centre table draws inspiration from the homonymous Greek myth of Narcissus who, in love with his own image and seeing it reflected in a pond, ended up throwing himself into the waters to chase it.  Estudio Cerisola dug into this Universal Myth that deals with the act of reflecting, the reflection and the reflected itself, to create a piece that is, at the same time, the pond, its crystalline waters and the flower that emerged as a result of this tragedy.
A piece conceived by a modular structure of stainless steel petals of three different sizes, symmetrically welded around a central axis conforming a perfect circle. The geometric system of NARCISO is based on a twelve-sided antiprism constructed by pieces of polished stainless steel so that the material, previously opaque, ends up having a mirror-like finish that allows it to coalesce with its surroundings
In his prolific work, Pedro Cerisola (Mexico) combines advanced technology with highly skilled craftsmanship. His objects are created researching the beauty of geometric constructive principles found in nature and how these systems can be applied to the design and fabrication of modular structures. Cerisola ́s work is in the permanent collection of the University Museum of Sciences in Mexico City and has been exhibited at the Museo Rufino Tamayo, Museum of Modern Art in Mexico City, the Franz Mayer Design Museum, at Wanted Design in New York, Zona Maco Mexico City and private galleries.
