Ignia, the campfire small table
The design of the Ignia table blurs the boundaries between crafts and design, making use of a traditional material as wood for the base, in a combination with an acrylic top. Triggering interaction between craftsmanship and contemporary production techniques, Laurids Gallée blends traditional and modern processes in a research-driven journey inspired by the possibilities of materials. Ignia’s creative process is rooted in an anthropological perspective and conceptual depth, balanced with a functional aesthetic.
At its core, the concept draws from the universal act of gathering around a fire and conversing; the bonfire is part of a ritual of purification and consecration, which has survived in the guise of a domestic fireplace, the symbol of intimacy, home and family.
