Contralto with rods

A collection of functional and elegant accessories, Contralto wears its pared-back, linear look as a distinguishing feature. The series comprises mirror, side tables and valet stands. The latter all share a common specific detail giving them their distinctive character: a terrazzo plinth serving as the base supporting a sleek, slender metal stem that has a series of elements branching off it at the ideal height for practical use. The resulting forms are fluctuating sculptural volumes, often portable, invariably full of life, designed to simplify those little everyday actions. All shelves and set-down spaces are made from turned and smoothed ash to provide a lovely tactile quality and prevent damage of any kind to whatever item of clothing or other object is placed on them, no matter how delicate. These pieces can be tailored to individual requirements, choosing any of the Pianca wood options.
