ROPE COIL
The baskets made with the willow rope coiling technique are as much practical as they are beautiful. The twisting of the willow in the weave gives movement and texture to these creations. The choice of a symmetrical or asymmetrical shape, the association of different kinds of willow, make them original objects which are always appreciated.
Contact me if you want to purchase or inquire on these rope coil baskets, prices vary depending on the size of the item.

TUTTO SESTO
Designed by Aurel Design Urbain for the Villa Medici
2024
The “Tutto Sesto” seats are the result of a reflection by the designer duo Caterina and Marc Aurel on the relationship between the gardens, i Quadrati, and the Renaissance architecture of the Villa Medici. A creation that makes the link between interior and exterior, composed of a metal structure, covered with autoclave willow in directional weaving for a free and organic aspect. I thank Caterina and Marc Aurel for asking me to collaborate on this project.
A project developed by the designer duo during their “métiers d’art” residency at the Villa Medici. This artistic residency program is supported by the Bettencour Schueler Foundation.
