DESIGN NAME: Versa
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Dining Table
INSPIRATION: Yin Yang is a principle of chinese philosophy, which indicates two opposing and complementary energies. Just like the moon and the sun, the masculine and the feminine, the spirit and the body. In Chinese Philosophy, complementarity is the essence of life. Following this analogy, the Versa Table with rounded edges is formed by two identical pieces that fit together and complement each other, distinguished only by the difference in texture between the finishes of the two sectors at the top.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: In analogy to yin-yang, this table is composed of two equal parts that fit and complement one another, distinguished only by their different finishing texture, with round-detailed edges that accentuate its lightness.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: This dining table is very beautiful and versatile. It was designed to fit on dining rooms and it can even be used in office spaces or meeting rooms. It’s a very versatile piece that serves timeless interiors perfectly.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in April 2022 and finished with the launch of the Alchem collection in São Paulo in March 2023.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Versa serves timeless interiors perfectly. We aimed to design this piece with two precise mirrored parts with curves and round edges accuntuating the lightness and the timeless appeal. It also strikes for the contrasting finishes in matte lacquer and in high-gloss.

The result inspires lightness and a timeless appeal despite the robust structure of the piece. Its beautiful finishes in contrasting matte and high-gloss lacquer compose the perfect contemporary furniture piece.
