Rara Avis
In order to achieve this goal, the artist explored different species of birds and then made 18 sculptures that Mermelada Estudio interpreted with their own language finding the balance between volumes, materials and proportions. Finally, they carefully selected the four fun birds that make up this elegant family of side tables.
Rara Avis is the result of a dialogue between art and design. Miquel Aparici and Mermelada Estudio talked about finding a way to converge their works.
As a result of that, they merged the characteristic work of Miquel into a collection of side tables.
