Bricola Solid Oak WOOD, RESIN – Colorless or Aquamarine. Transparent Polycarbonate Rotation Mechanism.
Susanna Island emerges like a small fragment of Venice — a portion of Briccola oak once immersed in the lagoon and now embraced by a veil of aquamarine resin. The wood, sculpted by salt, tides, and time, appears to resurface from its liquid past, while the resin flows around it like water turning to glass.
Countless air bubbles remain suspended inside the translucent mass, tracing the contours of a quiet underwater landscape — an island adrift in stillness. The resin protects and preserves the timber it once mirrored, freezing a fleeting moment that could only exist in the Venetian lagoon.
Resting on a rotating base, Susanna Island invites the viewer to slowly circumnavigate its shores, discovering a different reflection with every turn. It is more than a Lazy Susan: it is a luminous microcosm – a small, eternal Venice surfacing from water and memory.
