Cactus, Estúdio Campana Flower Vase
Their interest in continuing to work with organic forms led them to create this vase, which recreates a cactus. The spines surrounding the piece provide functional stability but aesthetically generate an optical sensation of lightness and floating in the air.

The Birth, Ross Lovegrove Centrepiece
With the design of a bowl resting on multiple legs, he worked very creatively on the natural process of human fertilization leading to natural birth. Each small leg on which the center rests represents a sperm reaching the egg. The central round piece represents both the egg and the woman’s uterus. As a surprise element inside the center, there will be a figure of a baby in a gestational state.

Multiple Reflections, Nacho Carbonell Mirror
With a concept faithful to his style, based on the recreation of a tree branch, a chiseling work was carried out on metal to create the veins and shapes on what will be the base of the mirrors, which are incorporated on the top and composed of multiple small pieces that in turn generate a game of interlaced mini-mirrors.

NACHO CARBONELL
Born in Spain in 1980, Nacho Carbonell graduated in 2003 from Cardenal Herrera C.E.U. University in Spain before going on to study at Design Academy Eindhoven. After graduating, Carbonell immediately began to make a name for himself in the design world, with his 2009 Evolution collection earning him a nomination for the Beazley Design of the Year from the Design Museum in London. In 2010, a year after being named as a Designer of the Future at Design Miami/Basel, he presented this Identity, which redefined his style of organic forms and rough and colourful textures.
Carbonell is known for his tactile approach to sculpture, playing with texture, experimentaltechniques, and natural materials. His approach is unique, seeing objects as ‘living organisms’ that come alive and surprise you with their behaviour. For Carbonell forming a relationship with his work is integral – he creates objects with his hands in order to impart something of his personality to them. He describes his pieces as “communicative objects that arouse one’s feelings and imagination... that allows you to escape everyday life.”
Carbonell’s designs are made using locally sourced materials he finds near his studio in Eindhoven. For his sculptural Cocoon lamps, the artist creates tree-like sculptures held together by steel branches and adorned with mesh-like cocoons. The cocoons are made using a steel mesh covered with a plaster of Carbonell’s own creation, a mix of sand and textile hardener. The sculptures seem otherworldly in their composition, and are reminiscent of magic realism, seeming to both imitate and transcend the natural world.
Carbonell’s lamps were among those exhibited at the opening of Carpenters Workshop Gallery’s San Francisco location. Their tree-like forms filled the upper aisles of the renovated St Joseph’s Church, adding a surrealist ethereality to the space.
His pieces are shown in museums around the world such as the Groningen Museum in the Netherlands, the 2121 Museum in Japan, Fnac-Fonds national d’art contemporai in France, in the MoMA San Francisco, the Art Institute of Chicago, and the Mint Museum in the United States. His pieces are also found in several private collections.

Ghada Amer Flower Vase
She designed an artistic vase with an irregular form,crafted in metal and enriched with a textured surface where polishing is used to reveal subtle highlights and shadows. True to her sculptural approach, she soughtto preserve the lightness and feminine sensualitythat define her work — forms that intertwine and seem to flow with natural grace. In this piece, her characteristic sensual figures emerge through thechiseling technique, delicately engraved onto the metal surface, as if coming to life and rising from within the vase itself.

GHADA AMER
Ghada Amer is an internationally recognized artist with a vast range of works that include not only painting, but also bronze sculptures, clay ceramics, prints, installations, videos, and outdoor gardens.
Her expansive, ambitious practice is a perpetual pursuit of new forms and methods of expression. Working across painting, sculpture, ceramic, and garden installation, Amer appropriates and reinterprets the predominantly masculine tropes of Western art history. Stridently, straightforwardly political in her approach, Amer reimagines the feminized materials and subjects of such histories in order to insert herself into the canon.
Amer was born in Cairo and moved to Nice, France when she was eleven years old. She remained in France to further her education and completed both of her undergraduate requirements and MFA at Villa Arson École Nationale Supérieure in Nice (1989), during which she also studied abroad at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, Massachusetts in 1987. In 1991 she moved to Paris to complete a post-diploma at the Institut des Hautes Études en Arts Plastiques. Following early recognition in France, she was invited to the United States in 1996 for a residency at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. She has since then been based in New York.
Amer’s work is in public collections around the world including The Arab Museum of Modern Art, Doha; the Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago, IL; the Barjeel Art Foundation, Sharjah; the Brooklyn Museum of Art, New York, NY; Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris; Chrysler Museum of Art, Norfolk, VA; Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, Bentonville, AR; the Guggenheim Museum, Abu Dhabi; the Israel Museum, Jerusalem; the Samsung Museum, Seoul; among others. She was recognized with a mid-career retrospective at the Brooklyn Museum of Art in New York in 2008 and a larger, more extensive one at the MUCEM and across other venues in Marseille, France in 2022. She is regularly invited to prestigious shows and biennials-such as the Whitney Biennial in 2000 and the Venice Biennales of 1999 (where she won the UNESCO Prize), 2005 and 2007. In 2024, the French Ministry of Culture awarded Amer the rank of Officer in the Order of Arts and Letters.
Upcoming projects include a solo show, the first to focus on Amer’s sculptural work, in September 2026 at the Es Baluard Museu d’Art Contemporani in Palma de Mallorca, Spain.
“It is while in art school that I realized that the history of art and of painting especially was almost exclusively dominated by men. And it is this realization that led me to embroider and to paint with thread. I am a painter above all. Thread and needles are my brush.”

Peter Marino Centrepiece
For the Argentum Collection, he reinterpreted one of his iconic glass creations originally conceived for his collaboration with Venini, translating its essence into metal through a contemporary lens. This transformation was made possible by the traditional silversmithing techniques characteristic of GARRIDO—particularly forging and hammering—which allow the piece to take shape gradually, revealing its sculptural presence through rhythm, precision, and the expressive potential of hand-worked metal.
