Notes from the Archive: The design brief from Viccarbe, a furniture manufacturer from Valencia, Spain, was to create a series of simple and elegant tables for hospitality and waiting areas. The designers, Ramón Úbeda and Otto Canalda, desired a minimalist solution, but one that could capture your imagination while waiting. Adding fish as the subject of interest, and the design process of how the fish could be produced and incorporated became an amazing story in itself, as demonstrated in this video.
The fish are hand-sculpted and painted by Juanjo, a world champion of spin fishing and sculptor of fish. Each fish is unique, and floats in the lacquered cylinders as if swimming in water and the added hand-painted shadows complete the illusion.
