The Infifinity table expresses a meditative form. It is ethereal and delicate,

simultaneously mutable and eternal.
During these past two years of emotional upheaval, I began a visual journey that led to
this project. The shock of the pandemic urged me to reconnect with the deepest and
most spiritual part of myself, because it is precisely when we lose our everyday
material certainties that we must tap into our inner wellsprings of strength.
For a new beginning, what inspired me was the idea of Infifinity.
These objects, which can be used either as tables or chairs, are composed of a
modular structure: an infifinitely repeatable matrix that visually explores balance.
Infifinity has neither a beginning nor an end and is, therefore, by defifinition, an absolute
motivating force, an eternal flflame that we should always keep nourished and lit within
us.
Here, as with my previous Soulmate collection, I explore two difffferent materials: resin
and marble contrast as known and unknown, as security and insecurity, exploring
reflflections, perspectives, and infifinite repetitions.
An invitation to investigate the unlimited possibilities of our deepest unconscious self,
let go of uncertainties and embrace a transcendental vision, to overcome the earthly
and in-control boundaries our daily life imposes on us.
A modulation of the infifinite, pure in its desire to evoke astonishment and wonder, and
fifirm in its momentary cancellation of self, of belief.
Like sand, it is composed of infifinite tiny grains, it creates endless horizons - our being
can project itself into a boundless, inexhaustible emotional universe.
