Description from the seller
DADI di DESIGN - Reggilibri
Pair of sculptural cubes made in solid wood, conceived as collectible design objects rather than mere decorative accessories.
The form is reduced to the essential: the cube as a primary, stable, measured volume.
The reference to the dado is present abstractly through circular inserts in light wood, distributed on the surfaces with a controlled rhythm. A well-known iconic sign is thus removed from playful function and transformed into formal language.
The finish deliberately leaves the material visible: grain, color variations, and slight irregularities are not masked but become an integral part of the object. Each face is different, making each cube unique and non-replicable.
The compact dimensions (14 × 14 × 14 cm) concentrate the visual and tactile weight of the object, allowing its use as:
- sculptural elements to be placed on surfaces
- tactile accents on tables, shelves, or consoles
- collectible objects in contemporary interiors, minimalist or wabi-sabi.
The cubes interact with space in a quiet yet decisive way, without seeking a traditional decorative role. They are designed for contexts in which design is chosen for presence and identity, not for immediate function.
