Oculus Chair

The Oculus Chair extends the language developed across the Scenarii Edition collection, where a recurring cross-section motif connects objects from tables to seating. This structural component creates a visual and constructive continuity throughout the body of work, combining architectural rigor with a sculptural presence.

The orthogonal wooden structure is carefully assembled to reveal the irregularities , the depth and warmth of the walnut, while the mirror-polished steel legs contrast with a precise structural insertion. The cross-shaped base, signature motif of the collection, provides both stability and a distinctive graphic identity. An oculus carved through the backrest and seat establishes a visual axis through the chair. This opening sets the stage for the insertion of a precious element : a hand-crafted glass disc developed through glass-fusing experimentation.

Delicately suspended by slender stainless steel rods, the glass element floats within the oculus and can pivot along its vertical axis. This jewel-like insertion transforms the chair into more than a functional object. The glass catches and refracts light, creating subtle reflections and movements as it turns, while emphasizing the relationship between transparency and mass. The Oculus Chair thus operates at the intersection of furniture, architecture, and artwork, where material exploration and precision craftsmanship converge to create a piece that is both tactile and contemplative.
