simone tables  – have a wooden structure with a top surface that can be rendered in glass, wood or textiles. the wooden structure undergoes a special burning process to obtain the black color on the outer surfaces.

greta lamps  – taking their form from the fragmentation of a hand grenade the split-second after it explodes these wooden lamps can be hung or left standing.
