CUMULUS side table white

Creator: Pedro Cerisola
Offered by: Marion Friedmann Gallery

Description
LAILA is a piece of furniture derived from the experimental CÚMULOS project. Inspired by Buckminster Fuller’s Synergetics, one of the foundational texts in contemporary geometrical studies in which Fuller reflects on the modular possibilities of the cuboctahedron (in geometry, a polyhedron with eight triangular faces and six square vertices).
Using ceramic modules for their construction, Pedro Cerisola discovers new approaches to apply this singular form to the design of daily objects.

This modular ceramic side table can be configured in various ways and sizes. The material has a beautiful texture, feeling like enamel or bronze. Based on profound mathematical research, Pedro Cerisola combines advanced technology with highly skilled craftsmanship, to create intricate pieces from high-quality materials with an impeccable finish. 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. The tables can be arranged in a myriad of ways and the user is encouraged to play. As 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 part of the permanent collection of the University Museum of Sciences UNIVERSUM in Mexico City and has been exhibited at the Museo Rufino Tamayo, the Museum of Modern Art in Mexico City and the Franz Mayer Design Museum, among others.
