Tsuboniwa gardens are the central point of traditional Japanese houses. They comprise a delicate microcosm, a reinterpretation of the surrounding landscape in the heart of a house. A subtle and fragile link between man and nature, tsuboniwa is a part of the exterior, a small patio, the space necessary to complete our domestic universe by reflecting a total image of the world surrounding it. The Niwa table is inspired by this gesture. The clean edges of the quadrilateral structure house a wooden pebble, an organic and fluid contrast, which seems to escape man’s control, a pebble polished by time and surrounding nature...
The Deriva table conjures memories of a vintage windsurf board found drifting in the Bay of Morlaix.The fabrication process of this circular table with three legs, made in solid American walnut, is intricate and the table’s feet, which have been produced with a 5 axis machine, are assembled meticulously by hand. The relation between traditional and technical know-how are at the core of this project with Ceccotti.

Far from the geometric construction methods of a traditional chalet design, the interior architecture of this family home is a domestic landscape whose forms emerge from the ground like mountains rising from a valley. Resolutely fluid and modern, the result is a set of lines and organic forms composed around a wooden ribbon. A large main room is set above the whole construction, defining the central point of the chalet where the family comes together around an open fire.
