Description
Overview
Borealis is a screen by Roberto Lazzeroni, from 2022, with three rotating doors, an aluminium frame and two-colour leather bands.
Construction
The frame is aluminium painted in a pewter finish. The bands are folded into loops and sewn together by hand, and the locking mechanisms of the doors prevent them from closing or opening completely to maintain stability. The leather bands come in two combinations, and the screen is made in two heights.
Specifications
- Three rotating doors, made in two heights
Story
An interplay of weaves
Roberto Lazzeroni designed Borealis in 2022. Its interplay of weaves creates a see-through effect, and the fold of the single leather band recalls the sinuous draping of light of the aurora borealis.
Craftsmanship in leather
Strips of two-tone leather are sewn to a metal frame in tension and attached by a small hand-sewn stitch, and they meet to form bows.
