Archimera miniature house in natural stone.
Delightfully quirky and original.
A series of architectural sculptures in natural stone, playing with the notion of the archetypical house, make up a fantasy neighbourhood, with each piece their own tiny contained world to be explored, lived in and experienced. The idea behind the collection, designed by Spanish-based Italian architect Federico Babina, is to utilise architecture and its forms as narrators of tales, transforming tiny houses into “narrative objects” Each house is a kind of refuge that, like a treasure chest, holds secrets and magic spells and is a haven where you can absorb and appreciate the sounds and silence of its very architecture. With each piece, you step inside an illusory, imaginary, Utopian world, a fusion of art and architecture which hovers between make-believe and reality, where creativity and imagination are built upon foundations of natural stone in a riot of glorious colours created by nature.
