Story
A tribute in the name
Van Duysen explains that the name acknowledges Oscar Niemeyer and, more broadly, the modern architects he admires for fluidity, sensuality and expression through materials.
Cathedral glass
B&B Italia describes a cathedral-glass version whose irregular surface is produced by placing the hot sheet over an imperfect metal surface before cooling. The company links this treatment to the table’s play of volumes and finishes.
