The Santa María side table emerges as the intimate echo of its namesake chair, sharing with it the tension between presence and absence. If the chair embodies the conflict of inhabiting a place that never fully feels like one’s own, the side table appears as a fragile point of support, an in-between space where we set what matters most, while reminding us that nothing truly lasts. Its solid surface symbolizes our need for grounding and certainty, while the voids within its structure reveal the instability of what we believe to be secure. Formally, the piece is built from compact, geometric volumes that, when pierced by openings and transparencies, expose the duality between what is present and what is missing. The table does not attempt to conceal this contradiction. It displays it with directness, making emptiness a structural and aesthetic element. Also crafted in stainless steel with a shot-blasted finish, its materiality speaks of resistance and permanence, even as its openings bring us back to the idea of lack and vulnerability.
