OMBRO is a collection of tables made by coated steel. Loukas Angelou & Vasso Asfi that form the STUDIOLAV draw inspiration from created doors, shutters and railings to create this beautiful table. The simple geometry of the two metal surfaces create an illusion of movement as it seems that are joined and separated at the same time. The bottom grill can be also used as storage offering full or partial cover of the objects stored underneath. The OMBRO collection derived from studying the relationship between inside and outside, indoors and outdoors and the natural boundary between them when overlapping.

STUDIOLAV is a young and passionate, multidisciplinary, design studio founded by Central Saint Martins graduates Loukas Angelou and Vasso Asfi. Through their work they look into different ways of reinterpreting ideas and typologies. With playful and ironic spirit they express their investigating tendencies and curiosities regarding perceptions of form and materiality. They highly value the importance of the emotional connection between people and objects and they often use narratives to expose it.

STUDIOLAV was nominated for the prestigious award of EDIDA (Elle Decoration International Design Awards) under the category of Young Talent Designer of the Year 2013 and were shortlisted for the BIO23 Design Biennial Award in Ljubljana in 2012 under the category Back to Crafts.

At this year's Milan Design Week (2015), STUDIOLAV collaborated with designers Anna Fabrizi, Kostantia Manthou and baker Simone Conti in a design bakery concept called PAN IS ARTOS*. Taking place at Casa dell' Opera Nazionale Balilla (Room G9) the visitors had the opportunity to see the bread making process with the use of a design utensils collection. We got a last minute information as we write this post, the OMBRO collection is getting a second round of judging for the Summer Exhibition 2015 organised by Royal Academy of Arts. Best of luck to Loukas & Vasso!!
