The avant-garde Cuspid Table is hand-crafted in 24 karat yellow gold and bronze-plated metal. Drawing its inspiration from Cubism, the table is executed from the multitude of overlapping rectangular facets. The geometric approach seen in this design transformed and enhanced by the asymmetry, grants the table a multiplicity of perspectives, playfully surprising the viewer, as one single view doesn’t covey a true idea of the formal richness contained within the work. The highly complex composition is complimented by the wealth of colours and textures applied by hand to the numerous segments which make up the volume of the piece.
CUSPID COLLECTION
The Cuspid Collection is one of the earliest collections designed by Juan and Paloma Garrido. Developed at the early stages of the new era of GARRIDO workshop, the collection strongly references the craft of silversmiths. It showcases the superlative skill of GARRIDO as masters of silver, artfully displaying numerous traditional techniques rarely used these days. The collection experiments with and challenges the technical skills of soldering, cold-bending, forging, polishing and embossing. Using geometrical shapes and angularity, the collection alludes to Cubism, forming a study of three dimensionality through volume and line. Similarly to Cubism the Cuspid Collection uses broken up forms and creates an illusion of presenting a multitude of viewpoints in a greater context.
