NEOCLASSICAL FEET REST<< previous | next >>

The mosaiced neoclassical feet is part of the mosaiced furniture collection that finds its inspiration in the element 'water'. It is perfect as a feet rest but also as a stool or a side table located close to the bed or sofa.

 

This restored feet rest of poplar wood originated in Italy during the beginning of the 20th century. The original sitting has been replaced with a sitting made of transparent plexiglass and coloured tiles which are immersed in resin. The touch of lightness that will always keep the Neoclassicism fresh is amplified and renewed by the transparent sitting that was inspired by mosaiced floors constructed during the Romanesque period that nowadays are often located under water as the water level rose during the centuries.

 

The transparency permits a new way of using antique objects, which makes them contemporary and even more unique.
