Orbital series
Orbital began with my reading of Héctor Aguilar’s 1940s Taxco silver, later expanding through the exciting work of Antonio...
Design notes
Chaise
The Orbital Chaise begins with a reclining form, but approaches it through a harder vocabulary of polished steel, repeated spheres and interrupted lines.
The spheres suggest orbit, rhythm and movement across a structure that remains fixed. Rectangular cut-outs break the curve of the frame, giving the piece a sharper edge and preventing the gesture from becoming too smooth.
The upholstered surface follows the steel in a continuous line, bringing comfort and invitation into an otherwise unexpected construction. Below, the arched legs support the frame while repeating the same tension between curve, weight and precision.
A concealed front compartment adds one private gesture to the polished structure.

Coffee Table N0 3
The Orbital Coffee Table N0 3 continues the exploration of low rectangular tables within the series, using repeated spherical elements to interrupt and articulate the metal volume.
Here, the spheres are grouped within small rectangular frames that repeat across the long sides and turn around the corners, creating a measured rhythm against the broad stainless steel surfaces.
The recessed base lifts the main body slightly from the floor, reducing the apparent weight of the volume and allowing the repeated details to read as part of the structure rather than surface decoration.

Daybed
The Orbital Daybed brings a generous upholstered volume into a rigid framework of polished steel.
Strong symmetry and repeated spherical elements give the structure weight and order, while the soft upholstery introduces a more inviting, almost decadent counterpoint.
The contrast between hard metal and soft volume is central to the piece, creating tension between precision, comfort and excess.

Side Table N0 2
The Orbital Side Table compresses the language of the series into a cubic form. Its polished stainless steel outer volume is interrupted by narrow metal bands that cut across the corners and repeat through the legs and base.
The supports are recessed from the perimeter, creating a shadow line beneath the body and giving the impression that the piece is suspended above the floor.
Although the exterior reads as solid and weighty, the structure is open internally, reducing its physical mass and creating a deliberate contrast between apparent weight and actual lightness.
A glass top completes the square profile while protecting the polished surface from everyday wear.

Console
The Orbital Console plays again with the theme of repetition and interruption. Scaled polished stainless steel spheres interrupt a flat rectangular body, breaking its length into a measured sequence of reflective volumes.
Each flat section contains a concealed drawer, keeping the functional elements absorbed into the composition. Linear reliefs across the panels introduce another layer of rhythm, while spherical elements continue into the supports below.
The piece shifts between cabinet, structure and ornament, using repetition to organize a long horizontal form.

Coffee Table N0 7
The Orbital Coffee Table N0 7 continues the exploration of low rectangular tables within the series, keeping the broad brushed stainless steel surfaces largely uninterrupted.
Polished stainless steel spheres are concentrated at the corners, where their rounded, reflective surfaces contrast with the flat planes of the table.
This restrained distribution gives greater emphasis to the rectangular volume, allowing the spherical details to mark the points where its surfaces meet.

Orbital Sofa
The Orbital Sofa develops directly from the Daybed, retaining its elevated metal structure, repeated spherical details and long horizontal proportions.
A full backrest and upholstered arms are added to the original framework, giving the piece greater enclosure while preserving the openness beneath the seat and the visible rhythm of the polished metal structure.
The long cylindrical bolster extends across the back, reinforcing the horizontal line of the sofa, while the contrast between soft upholstery and reflective metal remains central to the piece.

Block Lamp
The Orbital Block Lamp condenses the series into a compact illuminated volume.
Polished stainless steel spheres sit within a rigid metal body, turning repetition and reflection into the structure of the lamp.
Light escapes through the narrow spaces around the spheres, warming the metal and changing the reading of the repeated forms when the lamp is lit, whether placed on a table or on the floor.
