DelMare Collection
A UNIQUE DESIGN COLLECTION THAT DRAWS INSPIRATION FROM LAND AND SEA
In his latest work, Delmare continues to work with a range of materials. “Inspired by my love and my respect for nature, my purpose is to create vibrant functional artwork that can achieve harmony between a modern space and the natural space.” Said Locota. The collection consists of nine pieces, including tables, chairs, and artwork, all of which have been heavily influenced by the concepts of land and sea. One of the stand out pieces is the Crete table. This huge table is made from sculpted white marble and topped with 100 layers of acrylic glass which has been coloured to remember the Mediterranean sea. As the light travels through the table the colour alternates. Locota has contrasted straight and fluid lines to resemble the moment the land meets the water. Due to the table’s size and the level of craftsmanship required to create it, each table takes three months to finish, there are only five pieces in existence. Following on from the ocean theme, Locota’s chair entitled ‘wave lounge’ resembles a single wave on the point of breaking. To create the movement in the chair, Locota has hand sculpted using acrylic glass weighing over 200 kilograms. All of the collection is a result of Locota’s hard work. He said: ““Handcrafted and sculpted from zero. A mix of Jesmonite, Marble and Acrylic glass are the stars of my artworks. It’s an incredibly labor-intensive process that I am personally taking for all of my works.”
