Appreciation towards Álvaro Goula & Pablo Figuera for providing the following description:
西班牙Segovia的石匠们用当地粉色的石材Piedra Rosa制作盾牌，雕刻喷泉，建造房子已有四百年的历史。Álvaro Goula & Pablo Figuera设计的这两款桌子也使用此种石材，用当代的角度诠释了传统的材料。凹凸不平的机理与通常光滑的表面形成对比。室内外都适用。
Piedra Rosa
The stonemasons of Sepúlveda (Segovia, Spain) have been sculpting shields, carving fountains, and building houses for centuries. They are specialised in so called ‘Piedra Rosa’ (pink stone), which is extracted from quarries in the area.
These two tables, conceived for both indoor and outdoor use, reinterpret from a contemporary perspective a traditional material, linked geographically to a very concrete area. A course and primitive finish in the lower part of the tables contrasts to the smooth surface of the table top.
Álvaro Goula & Pablo Figuera
One often thinks of conceptual and commercial design as two contradictory terms, but the work of Pablo Figuera and Álvaro Goula finds itself in that intermediate point where commercial values and creativity meet and complement each other, creating abeauty business. “At the end of the day, people need beauty in their day to day lives, and businesses, as suppliers or creators of necessities, should provide beauty”. When designing, from the very beginning, Álvaro and Pablo anchor themselves in an inalienable principle: the obsessive care of the object’s form, which manifests its aesthetic value in the expression of the material, the respect for the manufacturing process and, of course, its use. Their pieces strive to be elegant and easy to understand, with great care to detail, and honest but always avoiding fun references, superfluous decoration, and an appearance that goes beyond the use. They have never claimed to change the world through industrial design, but maybe, to make it a little more beautiful, a little easier to live in.
