The scale translation of the forms and languages typical of architecture is a point of departure and a notional source of energy for the new collection of furniture inspired by a range of bridge designs, aims to explore the formal and structural relation between the arch and its centring. The protagonists of this corpus of new work, consisting of a table, a writing desk and a shelving system, are the first and last stages of the roman bridge building process: the wooden centring, a temporary structure that is crucial to the construction of every bridge, and the paving. The result of this multifaceted exploration is a union between the fragmentary lines that characterise the centring and the typical aesthetic of the arch, achieved by the layering of stone facing slabs called Conci.
