italian designer roberto giacommuci has revealed his ‘empirica collection’, a series of tables, lamps, and chairs that combine brass structures treated with a special coating with methacrylate surfaces characterized by exclusive shades. the objects are the result of a quick thought, an automatic gesture, and a spontaneous sign of a creative process that has grown thanks to experience. the pieces showcase objects suspended between two worlds, or rather between two times; the past and the future, presenting a synthesis between tradition and innovation, memories and purposes.

‘there’s a real connection between human beings and their creations,’ comments roberto giacommuci. ‘a chemical bond is expressed through the unusual combinations of elements that lead to an original and unexpected result.’
