A concrete plinth transforms into an otherworldly flower that translates the static nature of the material it is composed of into a compact and vibrant dynamism. The central stem, vaguely reminiscent of the paired columns of classical architecture, splits into two symmetric tops that serve as supports or seating. The naturalistic inspiration, recalling Gothic architecture and the infrastructural engineering of Pier Luigi Nervi, is juxtaposed with geometric technicality that leverages the characteristics of concrete to achieve a hollow section characterized by minimal thicknesses. Brutalism becomes floral, in an unprecedented juxtaposition of solids and voids resulting from formal extrusions that give rise to small cavities where common objects can be stored. Evoking the atmospheres and logics of construction sites, Anthos is conceived as a multifunctional module, usable individually or combinable to form a large coffee table or a longitudinal seat capable of accommodating multiple people.
