Seashell is a table inspired by nature, in particular by the sinuous volutes of a seashell, a fragile yet extremely complex element. Seashell is a combination of lightness and resistance which brings a new material to life: cement. People often associate cement with “heaviness and solidity” both visually and physically, but Calligaris have re-imagined it to make it lighter and sturdy at the same time. We went for a soft sleek shape that takes its cues from the organic forms of nature, especially that of a shell with all its curves, ridges and furrows, whose structural solidity is belied by the incredibly fragility of the material it is made from. The moulding process not only gives flexibility to obtain the desired shape of the base, but the cement setting reaction creates air bubbles that evoke a marine ambient enhancing nature in the final piece. Available with a ceramic top or in a new annealed glass top that enhance even more the soft and sinuous lines of the base, giving an iridescent effect that recalls the surface of the water moved by the wind.
