This piece is a sculptural table, an art object, designated as the Pedrera model. Its organic shape and perforated structure directly evoke the chimneys and undulating façades of Casa Milà by architect Antoni Gaudí in Barcelona, an icon of Catalan modernism. Handcrafted in ceramic (chamotte earthenware) with a raw (unglazed) finish, this table is in a cream or off-white colour that accentuates its fluid forms. The structure consists of a complex network of openings, creating a captivating play of shadow and light. The object can be illuminated from within to enhance the interplay of lines. The base and the top surface share a sinuous silhouette, reminiscent of a flower shape. The artist's initials are discreetly engraved on the base, indicating a handcrafted production in the studio. The overall condition of the piece is excellent, maintaining its sculptural character, and the surface is treated to be water-repellent for easier maintenance. The unique nature of the piece is highlighted by the artist's manual signature. Versatile, this work can serve as a side table, a pedestal for another sculpture, or simply be displayed as a standalone art object. It would fit perfectly in a modern organic, minimalist, or eclectic interior, adding a touch of architectural interest and sophistication.
