A collection born from a desire to connect with nature
by Patricia Anastassiadis
Vér is Patricia Anastassiadis' seventh collection of furniture design for Artefacto.
The collection was born from a desire to connect with nature. We searched for traits that evoke movement, transformation, and harmony and decided to translate them into small, medium, and large furniture, with great visual effect and high ergonomic performance. We thought about morphosis: the way an organism is formed, that is, the search for natural beauty and ergonomics.
"The idea was to bridge the gap between furniture and art. While they possess a sculptural character, they are also extremely functional and comfortable,” Anastassiadis states. “We thought about morphosis: the way an organism is formed, that is, the pursuit of natural beauty and ergonomics."
Delicate curves, loose lines, and natural metamorphoses compose the visual landscape that inspires Vér, which means spring in Latin. Recalling the radiance of nature, these pieces reveal a contemporary design with a timeless appeal.
The Circa and Radix dining tables combine wood and natural stone, while the Shah side tables are in two tones with chess tops made of marble or wood. The pattern also appears on Giocco coffee tables, made only in wood.
Bedroom furniture is also part of the collection. The Tassel bed, with upholstered headboards, features a turned wood structure, in a subtle nod to exoskeletons – one of the visual references of this body of work.
