Ossicle is a series of monolithic chairs, benches, and tables made from a carefully chosen palette of leather and marble hues and textures.
\nTheir monumental volumes are formed by the intertwining of primal monolithic and contemporary minimal features, while the lines are a reference to the \u201cJeu des Osselets,\u201d which has roots in Ancient Greece and Rome, reinterpreted according to a modern visual and a sharp humous, creating the perfect balance between organic and pure geometric shapes.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Francesco<\/a><\/p>\n

The cornerstone to the designer\u2019s work is an unrivaled combination of fine materials, clean forms, and daily uses.
\nEach design is envisioned as a monolithic, sculptural work that will stand the test of time.<\/p>\n

Balzano\u2019s creations\u2019 poetry is revealed through the ongoing examination of the interplay between scale, light, and space.
\nHe views his work as a \u201cfamily of things\u201d and strives to highlight the emotional significance of each piece via the conversation between forms and materials.<\/p>\n
