Together, they created the Undergrowth project. The idea was materialized by Andrea Forti and Eleonora Dal Farra. This is a shelving unit which uses resin to forever frame and capture the beauty of moss and lichen. He selected some of these and processed them to create these gem-like blocks.

It was during the design process that the artist noticed how when casting resin sometimes random textures appear on the blocks. It was created by artist Saerom Yoon and it sort of shaped itself. This is the Crystal Series, a collection with an interesting story. The resin, in this case, is more of a link that connects the wood sections and completes the table, allowing it to have a smooth, rectangular top with no physical interruptions. The Kauri Beam table by C.R.& S.RIVA1920 is quite similar in the sense that it too puts together wood and resin although in different proportions. The beauty of this piece comes from the contrast between the texture of the wood and the transparency of the resin. The wooden parts symbolize the continents and the resin sections are the oceans. Its design is an artistic representation of our planet.

The Earth table has a highly original and unique top which was created by putting together 50,000 year old kauri wood from New Zealand and resin. We’re talking about furniture designs which are created by mixing resin with wood or other materials to create intricate and organic forms and patterns. But then a new style was born and this one took advantage of the resin’s adhesive property. Until not so long ago, resin furniture only described the faux wicker types or the more durable alternatives to plastic chairs and tables and referred mostly to outdoor pieces used on decks and patios. They each distinct characteristics and uses.

There are numerous different types of resin, which include polyester, polyamides, polyurethanes, epoxies, silicones, polyethylene, acrylics or polystyrene.
