BAXTER PARTNER OF “GENIUS LOCI”, A PROJECT BY STUDIOPEPE AND COUTUME {STUDIO}
Post by Bellavita Luxury

The collaboration between Baxter and Studiopepe inspires collections of archaic architecture, characterized by products with atypical and sculptural shapes. Among these, the most iconic took part in a new project by the studio, in collaboration with the COUTUME {Studio} showroom: Genius Loci. A project that gets inspiration from the Latin expression “Genius Loci”, which in Roman times referred to the protective spirit of the house. This philosophy is reinterpreted and perceived as the soul of the house and the attitude of the people who live there, to represent not only the history of a place but also an attitude to life. The archetypal shapes and totemic volumes of the Lazybones and Zefir chairs and the Verre Particulier coffee table find their space in the scenography installed in the Bordeaux showroom, where the customized versions of the Thalatha and Jupiter table, made especially for this project, stand out. Closely linked to the raw material, the installation tells its essence and enhances the shapes of the sculptural products, designed by Studiopepe for Baxter.
