Gea Table
About this product
Architonic ID: 1468777
Year of Launch: 2017
A series of rectangular and square tables with the frame in aluminium powder painted in carob colour. The top is freely configurable, thanks to slats in different materials: Abonos oak, afrormosia and Etna lava stone.
NOTE
the oak and afrormosia wood and the marble are natural materials, whose original veining, sometimes even not uniform, stand out. The imperfections of the raw material should not be considered a defect, but rather a quality of the material.
The GEA range of square and rectangular tables and small tables pays homage to geometric rigour. The texture of the carob coloured finish on the steel frames stands out thanks to the adjustable tops to which different sections can be added. Different compositions can be chosen by alternating components in abonos oak (a thousand-year old fossil wood sourced from rivers), in afrormosia or in Etna lava stone.
Concept
From the Greek γαια, meaning “the earth", GEA is a collection of furniture and objects designed by Chi Wing Lo, which celebrates the beauty and openness of outdoor living. The morning sun, the breeze at sunset, the approaching rain...all reflected in the choice of materials, where every detail has been designed for living closer to nature. Sophisticated materials and nature's temperament come together to create a collection of chairs, tables, sofas, beach loungers, parasols, lamps and objects to help us enjoy and love a simple life outdoors.

Chi Wing Lo
Italy
Founder of CHI WING LO® Furniture & Design, a brand of furniture designed and made in Italy under his close direction. Lo has been actively pursuing design in Italy for almost twenty years. He is still the only Chinese architect and designer to be embraced by the prestigious circle of contemporary Italian design. In 2006, Lo was among the Italian Delegates to transmit the spirit of Italian design in Russia. His aspiration for timelessness has brought his furniture designs to international attention and many of his earlier works continue to be much sought after today. In 2007, Lo was invited by the Hong Kong Design Centre to contribute a design to commemorate the tenth anniversary of Hong Kong’s unification with China. The same year, the Radio Television Hong Kong broadcast a documentary of his life and work. He was the art director for Giorgetti from 2004 to 2006 and was the chairman of the jury for the St. Petersburg Design Biennale in 2009. His tower house was nominated for the Mies van der Rohe Prize in Architecture in 2009. At Foshan, Guangzhou, in 2010, he organized and chaired an international design conference on a theme addressing the need of original design in China. In parallel, Lo has also created a series of sculptures that reflect the essence of his architecture and design. A solo exhibition with the titles: Chi Wing Lo - Journey of the Imagination was presented at the Yi & C. Contemporary Art in Taipei in 2012, and Chi Wing Lo - Vision of a Civilization was presented at the Kwai Fung Hin Art Gallery in Hong Kong in early 2013. Raised in Hong Kong, Lo received his Master Degree in Architecture from Harvard University with the best thesis prize in 1988. Lo had taught at the Syracuse University, NY, and had been a member of the Akademie Schloss Solitude in Stuttgart. Served as a visiting critic in different universities and a frequent speaker in design events, Lo has a multidisciplinary practice, integrating art, architecture, interior and furniture designs for exclusive projects in Milan, Athens, London, Istanbul, Yalta, Beirut, Dubai, Shanghai and Beijing.
