“My friend Brancusi, even you Volpi”. An unexpected mix of references led architect and designer Lia Siqueira to create the Volpi Bookcase, launched by ETEL in 2011.

The Endless Column sculptures of artist Constantin Brancusi were combined with the work of Italian-Brazilian painter Alfredo Volpi. So much inspiration resulted in a unique and unexpected piece.

Among the projects dearest to her are those that use wood as a raw material. “I like the smell of wood, I like to touch it. The relationship of man with this material fascinates me. Our intervention can turn wood into something completely different”.
