The pair of Folds Sconces designed with reflective hand-polished silver and nickel-plated metal is a masterpiece by GARRIDO workshop. The highly geometric sculptural aesthetic of the design is inspired by the icicle formations found in nature and offer an artist interpretation of the natural world. Hand-crafted using traditional silversmith techniques of assembling and hand-modelling, the sconces are meticulously crafted using precious metals - the workshop’s signature feature. Sophisticated in their aesthetic, the Folds Sconces look marvellous as a design feature in any interior.
FOLDS COLLECTION
With the natural world lying at the very heart of GARRIDO’s oeuvre, the Folds Collection pays tribute to the issue of the global warming and melting of the arctic ice caps. Willing to bring awareness to the issue, GARRIDO uses iceberg and icicle forms as its inspiration, referencing the interlocking horizontal and vertical lines found in ice formation. Highly ridged folds, characteristic for this collection, symbolise the crashing and shattering of the arctic ice. Embodied in metal the GARRIDO Folds pieces personify the fading beauty of the natural world. Executed in lustrous metals and coated with the frosting-like textures, the Folds pieces resemble different shapes of ice, offering an inventive adaptation of the natural elements.
