The "Mediterraneo" decor by LPWK - Emma Silvestris is the latest example of a decor whose success demands the creation of a series.

The first project featuring the coral icon emerged during the workshop "The Lightness of Steel," driven by the desire to strip the object of its materiality, to soften its contours, and to embody purity and (in essence) nature. In ancient times, coral was widespread throughout the Mediterranean and was exported worldwide in exchange for spices and fragrances. "Kura halos," the human form, was often a symbol of female deities, fertility, lunar phases, and the sea. Due to its use for therapeutic and apotropaic purposes, it can be equated with vital energy.
