Druzhba 4 | Table

An unexpected paring of materials: DRUZBHA 4 translates into the language of objects the dual presence of wood and concrete that characterizes Soviet architecture. The legs of the table are made of plywood finished with wax, while the tabletop features the solid presence of fiber-concrete.

In addition, the severity of the mixing and matching of volumes provides a point of encounter between two conflicting motifs: that of the soft sweetness, however rationalist in the final analysis, of the table legs, inspired by the rounded forms of Ottoman architecture, and the brittle harshness of the tabletop, a metaphor for the coercive brutality of the regime architecture.
