Travertino Bronzo, Silvered Brass

The Supernova series, from award-winning Lebanese design studio david/nicolas, explores themes of life, death, and rebirth. The duo’s unique talents lie in their innovative contrasting of materials and a “retro-futuristic” aesthetic built on an amalgamation of influences from the Middle East to Europe, including Oriental geometry, antique furniture, and space exploration. Constellation C080 (2018) is a long dining table with three travertine slabs connected by silvered brass zig-zag joints. The hemispherical shapes cut out of the table's legs are rotated leg by leg, mirroring the lunar cycle.
