The Noviembre Console (2020) is a highly distinctive piece that seems to challenge the laws of gravity. Two oval forms hold its top aloft to create a sculptural console that’s also functional. Free from ornamentation, Joel Escalona’s design radiates with an organic materiality – in its pleasing shapes and beautiful, hand-sanded, solid white oak. Its pragmatic and poetic design was inspired by the creative thinking of Roman artist and sculptor Constantin Brancusi, who sought to uncover the essence of things through their raw beauty, which is exactly what Mexico City-based Escalona has achieved. Noviembre will add a grounded yet sculptural accent to an entryway or living space. Made in Mexico.
