Nature. Biology. Roots and origin. The stone in motion.
This is the Cempés auxiliary table designed for stone manufacturer Dapedra by Imaisdé Design Studio.
34 chestnut legs support and give movement to 200kg of white marble Pi de Carrara; the same one with which Michelangelo's David was carved, distinguished from any other because it is the only marble without gray betas.
Cempés is a Galician word meaning "centipede". In the case of this outdoor/indoor table, there were not one hundred if not thirty-four native paws cut and polished by hand which gave life to this table.
It is not easy to animate 200 kg of marble without using more technology than the hands of sculptors and carpenters who are able to reproduce the original idea created by the Imaisdé design studio.
Under the premise and concept of movement, the fleeting moment of a product and a material that usually tends to be tremendously static is captured.
