STRATA TABLE SERIES By URBI et ORBI
Strata table series was designed by CTRLZAK for the Urbi et Orbi Medius Terra collection in 2024.
Strata is a series inspired by natural geological formations (stratification). It captures sedimentation, erosion, and volcanic activity through stacked layers, symbolizing the passage of time. The design is inspired by the Mediterranean region's diverse landscapes and geological phenomena. The overlapping layers of mineral compositions represent the geological history of the Mediterranean and our planet. Strata encourages reflection on our perception of time through geology and the natural world.
The Strata concrete table is designed for indoor and outdoor use and features a unique finish that can only be achieved with concrete as a base material. Each piece is unique and different, holding onto the design concept. It was a construction challenge for us, and we loved it from the first moment when it was still an idea. We developed special production techniques to approach such a natural appearance.
Each piece is unique and different, holding onto the design concept. Due to the nature of concrete, this table acquires its character; the passage of time will enhance its beauty even further.
Ideal for commercial or residential spaces, Strata comes in various sizes, making it suitable as either a coffee table or a dining table.
The Medius Terra collection is a captivating celebration of the Mediterranean's soul. More than just a collection, it embodies our essence – a testament to the enduring character of this remarkable region.
Inspired by the Genius Loci, the spirit of the place, Medius Terra delves into the heart of the Mediterranean. It's an ode to the sun-drenched landscapes, the vibrant cultures, and the timeless traditions that weave the fabric of this cherished sea and its surrounding lands.
The distinctiveness of this collection arises from the fusion of diverse perspectives brought forth by the three contributing designers: Gian Paolo Venier of OTTO Studio, Sotiris Lazou Design Studio, and CTRLZAK.
