Lava Small Coffee Table by Draga & AurelDimensions: D 60 x H 37.5 cmMaterials: Epoxy resin.Lava coffee table plays with contrasts of form, materials, and textures resulting in a sensual yet rigorous effect. The conical concrete base, treated on surface with sea salt to achieve a travertine-like erosion, supports the thick epoxy resin circular top, which captures light within its depth and reflects it dramatically. This table represents a new evolution in Draga & Aurel’s experimentation with resin and concrete, two iconic materials of the Transparency Matters series.Founded in 2007 in the town of Como, Italy, Draga & Aurel is a multidisciplinary design studio that works along the spectrum of furniture, textile and interior design. Draga Obradovic began her career in the fashion industry, first working in London and Milan as a textile designer before eventually settling in Como. Aurel K. Basedow graduated from Milan’s Accademia di Belle Arti with a degree in Fine Arts, having previously trained as a carpenter and woodworker. Thanks to their sympathetic methods, combined with an artist’s approach to material and composition Draga & Aurel are widely recognized for their clever reinvention of bespoke vintage design pieces.Their showing at 2009’s Salone del Mobile introduced the duo to the world stage; it followed the partnerships with several companies that have pushed the pair’s domain beyond the reinvention of singular vintage pieces. While interior projects have expanded their sought after aesthetic into the realm of hospitality and lifestyle. In occasion of the 2019 Milan Design Week the design duo presented Transparency Matters, an exhibition of limited edition pieces, entirely fabricated by hand in their Como atelier.
