The Rhizoma project began as a deep reflection on the interconnection between tradition, adaptability and multifunctionality, inspired by my travels in Tanzania and other experiences in Africa. Here, I observed at first hand how each material is worked with ingenuity and transformed into something new: an object can take on multiple roles, adapt to new needs, telling stories of resilience and creativity.

The organic form of Rhizoma is a spokesman for our roots, for the essentiality of life. The name itself, meaning ‘root’, evokes the eternal cycle of life that is born and regenerates.

This table-sculpture is made of bronze and is a synthesis of art and design. It is not only a functional object, but a reflection on the transformation of traditional concepts of utility. The surface of the work carries a visual language inspired by the cultures and ethnicities I have encountered during my travels. In sculpture, the signs are not mere ornaments, but traces that tell of identities, traditions and narratives.

To emphasise this aspect, I have taken the signs typical of marble work and transposed them into bronze. This dialogue between materials enhances the idea of a skin that narrates, a covering that becomes the guardian of stories and lived values.

Rhizoma is not just a table: it is an invitation to reflect on our origins, on the changing essence of design and on the evocative potential that every object can contain. A sculpture that combines aesthetics and functionality in a dynamic balance, challenging conventions and opening up new horizons for the relationship between art and everyday life.


50 kg The lightness of the table is due to the innovative goldsmithing technique used in the production process. The support surfaces are aligned and flat.
