About the Item

Checkmate is more than just a chess set: it is a sculptural object made of Cristallina® marble that blends tradition and innovation, turning every game into a sensory and convivial experience. This elegant piece of furniture enriches any space, creating emotions and memories to be passed on. The base echoes the shape of a flower, a detail that also returns in the checkers, designed specifically for this unique design. The contrast between the light and dark squares of the marble evokes the atmosphere of the great tournaments of the past, giving it a refined and timeless character. Designed for indoor and outdoor use, Scacco Matto invites you to stop, play and share moments of relaxation, turning the game of chess into pure art. The project bears the signature of Esther Alcalde (ECAL), a Spanish-born architect and designer who combines landscape, functionality, and formal research in her approach to design. It is part of the Blooming Collection, inspired by the gardens of Ticino, which transforms everyday gestures such as playing, conversing or sharing a meal into precious memories. A luxury collectible, functional sculpture and symbol of conviviality, intended for galleries, residences and exclusive spaces.

Signorine Sculpture by Paola Paronetto
Located in Geneve, CH
Signorine Sculpture by Paola Paronetto Dimensions: D 32 x H 45 cm Materials: Paper clay. Also available in different dimensions. Please contact us. With their shapely legs, the Signorine are gentle and generous figures. Their friendly and sociable nature concedes a hint of frivolity when, one next to the other, they are admired in gracious défilés. Paola Paronetto Paola Paronetto was drawn to the world of ceramics at a very young age, learning clay working techniques from the hands of master ceramists. Her free and inquisitive soul led her to experiment with different materials and expressive techniques, until her encounter with paper clay. The idea of a material that naturally evades the rules fascinates her. In the early 2000s, in her ceramic workshop in Porcia, where she still lives and works today, the "Cartocci" collection was born. Solid objects, yet as light and thin as paper where her complete creative world lies: the affinity with a technique that requires layering and waiting, the search for forms that allow themselves imperfections, her sense for the solidity of colour. Today her art work in paper clay travels the world, freely intertwining with contemporary art and design. They are exhibited in in select showrooms, galleries and museums (or museum shops) in Italy and abroad. They participate in the most important international design events, flirting effortlessly with other worlds. The Ille Arts gallery in New York and the Contemporary Ceramic Centre in London have dedicated a solo exhibition to Paola Paronetto. ADI Design Musem - Compasso d'Oro in Milan hosted her first anthological exhibition in Italy in 2021. Her work and her world of inspirations are collected in the photographic book 'Paola Paronetto. Metafore', presented at the Triennale Milano...
