Antínoo Side Table By Pedro ÁVila And Cava Atelie

Cava Atelie, established by André Teixeira, Pedro Ávila, and Rodolfo Crespi, represents an exceptional collaboration that integrates three distinct talents, each with a specialty that substantially enriches the collective. The convergence of these skills results in a balanced fusion of high technology, classical sculpture, and contemporary design, positioning the studio as a landmark of originality and innovation in its creations.In this piece, Ávila and Cava use a 3D scan of a male model’s appearance to sculpt a nose in marble. However, it’s not just any nose, but one that evokes the classical representation of beauty, inspired by the statue of Antinous, the lover of Emperor Hadrian in the 2nd century. This process was made possible by using the only robotic arm available in Latin America.
