Bricola Solid Oak WOOD, Extraclear Polished RESIN – Colorless or Aquamarine – FELT hidden at the bottom.
Fisheye Stool is sculpted from a single cylindrical section of Venetian Briccola oak — a fragment of wood that once stood immersed in the lagoon, patiently shaped by salt, tides, and time. Its circular form becomes a lens, bending light and vision like the eye of a fish gliding beneath the waters of Venice.
Through a transparent resin that fills the natural voids left by marine life, the piece captures air, bubbles, and reflections — transforming water’s movement into still clarity. The resin becomes a living membrane, magnifying the inner topography of the wood and preserving its outer skin untouched, as if the plank were seen through a liquid eye.
From every angle, the cylindrical volume reveals a shifting perception — a fisheye view of submerged Venice, refracted and stilled within its transparent body. More than a stool or side table, Fisheye offers the gaze of a Venetian fish: an intimate, curved vision of a hidden underwater world, frozen in luminous calm.
