The Bark centrepiece was designed by Michel Boucquillon and Donia Maaoui. Both of Belgian origin, the designers have been inspired by the place where they live: Casa Boucquillon in Tuscany, a place of experimentation, meditation and work where they live at one with nature. As suggested by its name, the item brings to mind tree bark. the fretwork recalls knots in wood, the concave and elongated shape is reminiscent of the structure of a trunk. The result is a highly poetic yet functional object: the perforated part makes it suitable to keep fruit fresh, as if the fruit was in the baskets made of woven branches or bark, used in the country for the harvest. Its modelled design and large dimensions make it suitable for use as both a container and a centrepiece.
- Centrepiece in 18/10 stainless steel.
- Centrepiece in steel coloured with epoxy resin, black or white.
Designed by Michael Boucquillon and Donia Maaoui, the Bark collection - from the English bark - was inaugurated in 2015 by the homonymous centerpiece. The authors drew inspiration from their home, Boucquillon House: a place of experimentation, meditation and work for living in symbiosis with nature. The Bark series freweork recalls the bark of trees around the house. The result is a highly poetic collection in which every single object shows, in form or in function, a continuous and harmonious dialogue with nature.
