ICosi by Afroditi Krassa for Bonaldo

Saturday, September 10th, 2011

Supercharging Bonaldo’s artistic portfolio of designer modern furniture and contemporary furnishings with extolling visual, ICosi modern side table by Afroditi Krassa pushes the boundaries of modern design through its sensational stature, minimally proverbial geometry and a pervading sense of naked simplicity that can easily be reinvented in different environments through repetition or singular placement.

Icosi’s grid-like silhouette is an eye-catching and highly vivid metaphor of its name, which translates from Greek as twenty.  With availability in matte white, coral red, anthracite grey, dove grey, and powder pink colors, by design, Icosi is constructed using bent, painted rods repeated 20+ times in parallel schematics, resulting in a pattern that deviates from its begetting components.  Often used as an occasional table, Icosi’s multi-purposeful demeanor extends into modern shelving when the tables are stacked one on top of the other.

Creative representations of butterflies have been used in many cultures for over 3,500 years, often symbolizing beauty, love, rebirth, freedom, grace and innocence.  So it comes as no surprise, and perhaps a bit overdue, that this universal symbol enters the enchanted and creative world of modern furniture design in the form of the Butterfly coffee table realized by a young Bulgarian designer, Svilen Gamolov.  A fascinating and pure cornucopia of elegance, Butterfly modern coffee table is a multi-dimensional and highly aesthetic concept brought to fruition using glass, plywood, and glossy lacquer fused into exceedingly precise object with no ostensibly functional restraints.
