The Grădus collection consists of five bas-relief wall sculptures and five fully rounded forms. The concept stems from a study of Carlo Scarpa’s architecture, which is pervaded by stepped horizontal and vertical surfaces and archetypes of connecting stairways, making these graduated geometric elements a central theme of his aesthetic.
In Grădus, slopes punctuated by tiny steps become omnipresent, the defining feature of the sculptures. These pieces transform into chiselled three-dimensional landscapes, graduated micro-architectures where light repeatedly vibrates across the surface, and the eye loses itself in the rhythmic play of light and shadow. Since the staircase is a metaphor for life - its constant ups and downs, its light and dark moments, its peaks, achievements, and certainties, along with the vertigo, fears, and falls - the constructed landscape becomes a reflection of an inner world.
Grădus is designed by Draw Studio and crafted from Black Soul granite.
