Beyond Nature
BEYOND NATURE explores the ways in which nature has always been an indisputable source of inspiration for countless creations. Earth, Air, Water & Fire - the spirit elements interlaced with each other to create unity and universal balance. Beyond Nature celebrates nature at its core.
The exhibition explores the four elements in nature with exclusive commissions from Den Holm, Duffy London, Jan Ernst, Kameh, Laurids Galle, Mark Mitchell, and Nader Gammas as well as a curated selection of works from Christopher Boots, Draga and Aurel, Faina, and Kooij.
Gallery COLLECTIONAL connects nature’s four fundamental elements into a seamlessly unified space, revealing a perfect ecosystem orchestrated by beauty. Utilizing the source with the intention to give back to nature in symbiotic cycle.

Featuring an irregular circular top of transparent and colorful resin with a staggered placement on a bronze frame, this organic table is inspired by clusters of wildflowers. Its creation process requires a special resin-casting technique, carried out entirely by hand in the Draga & Aurel workshop in Como. Playing with vibrant colour combinations, also incorporating any random mistakes and accidents, the material is melted into several layers creating fluid, deep, unique table tops. The bronze frame is featured by a special matte effect in earth-colored.

A direct tribute to New Brutalism, the Golia coffee tables acclaim the contradiction formed by the juxtaposition of resin and concrete. Golia is a celebration of the authenticity of materials and geometry of compositions. The concrete surface features a particular effect achieved by the corrosion of sea salt, which brings the material to life and accentuates its roughness. In contrast, the thick resin, available in various mineral colors, is smooth, bright, deep, and reflects the outside world, changing in turn based on the lights surrounding it. In the “Concrete” model, the resin appears to spring from a block of concrete, like an unrefined precious stone. In this case, the dialogue between materials is elevated by a material component that gives lightness and grace. Handcrafted in the Draga & Aurel atelier in Como, each piece is unique.

A superb and inimitable showcase of craftsmanship, this unique coffee table is part of the Transparency Matters Collection. Entirely crafted by hand through the casting techniques of both resin and brass, it is composed of a one-of-a-kind resin top boasting a polished emerald green tone that results from a unique combination of three layers of mold. The finished piece looks like a precious gem. The elegant column-style base is a cylinder made of brass enriched by a natural golden finish. Also available in other colors and measures, any variation in the top is not to be considered a flaw but a stylistic choice of the designer. Materials: Cast resin and Solid brass

Meteors slash through the sky, dazzling all who witness their strangeness. It is this primal, cosmic energy that is captured in METEOR. METEOR implements a delicate hand-picked selection of gradations of natural smoky quartz and natural clear quartz, conveying the dynamism and movement of cosmic matter plummeting to Earth. Warm light emanates through the naturally uncut crystals, providing a dramatic glow through dimmable LED technology.
