The Altar is a furniture piece that harkens back to the time of the Béguines, a Christian lay religious order in Western Europe between the 13th and 16th centuries. Its design was fashioned after the altars and prayer kneelers in their meditative chambers. All components of the Altar are hand-cut from metal and welded together, resulting in a delicate assembly of thin metal that gives the illusion of near invisibility and an ethereal quality. coseincorso is a multi-disciplinary design studio, co-founded by Marzia Cerio and Marwann . Their work emphasizes reinvigorating poetics and cultural context in production processes. Through research and crafting items by hand, they promote and transfer existing know-how. Artisans provide materials sourced from the local area, and from the place's history, archaeology, and geography, true essence is captured in their creations.
