In a workshop carpeted with wood shavings and draped in coils of iron wire, an assortment of barrels—finished and half-built—crowds every corner. For over sixty years, a single artisan has refined this space: seemingly chaotic yet governed by its own precise logic. Here, process outshines product. This collection deconstructs barrel geometry and craft, reassembling its elements into table lamps, floor lamps, and related objects.
