Elliot Barnes sees the world as a big laboratory where anything and everything can inspire him. The Zuma console is a nod to the Ocean, and the waves breaking on the Californian shores…
Barnes started his career in Los Angeles, where he worked at Arthur Erickson Architects before moving to Paris and joining the studio of Andrée Putman. However, the memories of the West Coast and its picture-perfect backdrop stayed with him.
The Zuma console is a beautiful, stylish take on a very specific image: a plunging wave at dawn at Zuma Beach. The elegant lines lend the frame in gold-lacquered resin a graceful lightness, enhanced by the finish in seaweed and gold patina.
A timeless piece that made quite a splash in Paris at the AD Intérieurs exhibition and caught the collector’s attention: did it catch yours too?
