In a New Furniture Line, Modern Minimalism Meets Medieval Maximalism

摘要

Traditional stained glass gets a refresh in this new sideboard, a collaboration between Spanish architect and designer Patricia Urquiola and Italian cultural impresario Federico Pepe, founder of controversial art magazine Le Diciatear. The piece is part of the duo's limited-edition Credenza Collection for Milan based boutique Spazio Pontaccio. Its rounded metal volume sits on four slender, cylindrical legs, while angular geometric patterns and bold colors make the stnined glass doors pop. In their contemporary take on the historic technique, Urquiola and Pepe swap religious vignettes for vibrant abstraction.
