Inspired by a country woman, we developed the CELESTE side table. It's composed of a wicker basket that rests on a marble cylinder finished off with a half-sphere. The table represents a strong character that carries the basket on her back with the effort of her work. Thus, in an apparent balance challenge, the two geometric shapes are joined into a distinctive design that pays tribute to the farmworkers. Produced in the North of Portugal, the wicker basket is born by the hands of one of the local basket makers who weaves these more or less rigid vegetable fibres. Its tracery gives lightness and subtlety to CELESTE, revealing the craftsman's mastery and the Designer's enjoyment in giving it functionality and beauty. The Portuguese marble from Estremoz connects us to the land and its generosity is a geological poem.
