Here’s the rephrased and expanded product description, including a concise supplier overview and mention of the 3D file availability:
*"Adaptable and malleable, this design molds to the user’s every desire, offering both a soft embrace and dynamic movement. At its core is a ‘smart cushion’ that functions as an adjustable backrest and armrest, allowing complete freedom to shift between symmetrical, asymmetrical, formal, or relaxed positions—ideal for reading, lounging, or tablet use. The name ‘Standard’ draws from the Old French ‘estendart’ (meaning flag or banner), symbolizing a repeatable model of innovation. This project evolves from decades of typological and technological research, beginning with Francesco Binfaré’s 1993 *L’Homme et la Femme* couch—the first to introduce variable configurations—and later explored in designs like *On the Rocks*, a modular sectional. *Standard* is the culmination of this journey, blending material innovation with effortless adaptability. A 3D file of the product is available for download.
Crafted by Edra, a renowned Italian luxury furniture brand since 1987, this piece reflects their commitment to avant-garde design and premium craftsmanship."*

Description:
The SOTO centerpiece, a uniquely captivating and conceptually rich piece from Elica Studio's celebrated "Naturalia" collection, offers a profound artistic interpretation of nature's delicate forms and the protective allure of thorns. Designed in 2016, this exceptional object transcends conventional decor, serving as a commanding sculptural statement that brings a sense of refined artistry, raw natural power, and sophisticated drama to any interior. It is an ideal choice for interior designers seeking to infuse spaces with high-impact design, a connection to the wilder aspects of nature, and an undeniable artistic presence.
Masterfully crafted from fine porcelain, glaze, and oxides, the SOTO centerpiece is characterized by its stark monochromatic palette and compelling textural contrasts. The entire piece is finished with a sophisticated matte glaze, which lends it an understated elegance and a soft, non-reflective appeal that absorbs light, enhancing its intricate details. As vividly illustrated in the accompanying image, the centerpiece features a rounded, gourd-like body that tapers gently towards the base. What truly defines this creation is its dual artistic expression: the body of the piece is adorned with bold, hand-drawn or applied patterns of dark, thorny vines that climb vertically, creating a visual rhythm of protective natural elements.
The upper portion of the centerpiece transitions dramatically, crowned by a dense, intricate arrangement of numerous three-dimensional sculpted elements. These individual forms, resembling abstract, layered petals or deconstructed organic shapes, are rendered in shades of white or very light tones, with striking dark or black edges. This contrasting outline emphasizes the organic contours and delicate ruffles of each element, creating a powerful visual rhythm that echoes the structured thorns below. The juxtaposition of the sharp, linear thorns on the body with the softer, organic forms of the "flowers" on top creates a profound tension between beauty and danger, fragility and resilience. The "oxides" in the material list likely contribute to these subtle color variations and the distinctive dark outlining on the forms and thorns, enhancing their naturalistic appeal. The matte finish allows these intricate details and the interplay between pattern and sculpture to take precedence, preventing any distracting glare and highlighting the meticulous craftsmanship.
The SOTO centerpiece, with its unique blend of organic motifs, powerful symbolism, and exquisite sculptural form, offers remarkable versatility for interior designers. It can serve as a stunning standalone art piece, commanding attention on a coffee table, a grand console, or a prominent pedestal. Its substantial presence, with dimensions of approximately 31 cm in diameter and 29 cm in height, and weighing around 2900 grams, ensures it makes an impact in any luxury setting. While its design makes it primarily a decorative object, its profound artistic statement allows it to anchor a room or complement a curated collection of contemporary art. Its aesthetic is particularly well-suited for adding a touch of dramatic sophistication to minimalist interiors, enhancing a contemporary or gothic-inspired space, or serving as a powerful focal point in an art-focused design scheme. Belonging to the "Naturalia" collection, it beautifully embodies the raw and multifaceted essence of the natural world, interpreted through a lens of profound artistry and contemporary design.
Designed in 2016, the SOTO centerpiece showcases Elica Studio's innovative approach to ceramic art, ensuring its enduring relevance in today's design landscape. For interior designers seeking to imbue their projects with unique character, a sense of avant-garde artistry, and a touch of engaging conceptual depth, the SOTO centerpiece is an unparalleled choice. Its distinctive aesthetic, thoughtful integration of pattern and form, and captivating visual impact position it as an investment piece that will resonate with clients who appreciate bespoke quality, enduring design, and a connection to the artistic exploration of nature's profound and often contrasting beauty. With a standard lead time of 30 days, incorporating this exceptional sculpture into project timelines is straightforward, promising to deliver a compelling visual experience that enhances the overall ambiance of any sophisticated interior.
