Dama 2015NO

The Dama collection relates to one of the world’s most famous cities, the captivating Venice. Inspired by the symbiotic relationship between people and the sea, transferring to the medium of tiles the charm of “briccola” (“dolphin”) wood, from the typical 3-post nautical structure used to mark out waterways: at intersections we find the “dama”, a taller post extending above the others. It is totally unique because, partly submerged in the sea bed and partly exposed, it is in constant, lasting contact with the water and the weather. Starting by recovering some used “dolphins”, LaFaenza transformed the timber impregnated by brackish water and decorated with molluscs into a very precious material. Size : 200 x 1500 mm.
