Finally our most wanted causeway
Causeway (featured above) takes, as a point of departure, the good memories of student days, more precisely the year spent in Dublin. Having found peculiar rock formations, Pedro designed this sailboard which forms a three-dimensional pattern, despite the bi-dimensional original pattern, as if it were a illusory game, dense with enigmatic perspectives spread all over.
It’s a product that has been stored in his memory for a long time, has been developed and has matured, waiting for the best opportunity to be materialized in the form of a sideboard.
This piece as a body in plywood with a solid wood structure, finally the piece is coated all around with a tri-dimentional pattern of wood veneer. The first series is available in three different colors: green, blue, red and finally natural wood, where 2 pieces are prototypes, 2 artist proofs in a series of 8 pieces for each, all numbered and authenticated by designer.
The Causeway subject will be continued by creating new products.
