This is a table centre that can contain not only flowers, fruits, sweets or whatever you want to put inside, but above all the echo of a personal memory. And as often happens with the most vivid and powerful memories, sight alone is not enough. So this element must be touched to feel the silkiness of the solid wood that composes it; but it must also be smelled because it releases the scent of natural beeswax and virgin coconut oil that permeate it. But above all, as when you live a flashback, Memory suspends the experience in a moment of silence, in a time far from the technological noise that too often distracts us from our feelings.
