Curiosa

[ product ] 2025

Conceived alongside the Flare collection, Curiosa is one of the studio’s earliest explorations of optics and perception. Drawing on observation instruments and cabinets of curiosity, it brings the Fresnel lens into a new setting: an optical mirror that invites the viewer to adjust, examine and experiment with what they see.

Mounted on an articulated arm, the lens becomes a tool for reframing, magnifying and distorting the reflected space. Its manipulation is central to the experience, making observation an active gesture. Developed through experiments in the workshop, Curiosa expresses an approach in which available materials and fabrication methods help guide the research. The piece was first presented during Milan Design Week 2025 in What You Choose To See, curated by Marine Mimouni for Revue Latérale.
