Golia Stool By Draga & Aurel

Golia stool by Draga & AurelDimensions: W 50, D 50, H 45, top Ø 50 cmMaterials: Resin and concreteCustomized colors needs can be consideredThe GOLIA stools are featured by sculptural, almost monumental forms, and by an unusual combination of material: The raw, solid concrete, inspired by the Brutalist architecture, together with the brightness of resin. The base is made entirely of concrete and its surface features a particular effect obtained through corrosion with sea salt, which brings the material to life. The resin top, with its brightness and depth, reflects the outside world, changing, in turn, depending on the lights surrounding it. Handcrafted in the Draga & Aurel atelier in Como, each piece is unique.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 eventuallysettling 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 widelyrecognized for their clever reinvention of bespoke vintage design pieces.Their showing at 2009 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.
