INSPIRATION: Thesaurus, treasure in Latin, symbolizes the treasures that have been trapped by the passage of time.

The base is made of black marble, which symbolizes the earth layers, and the surface of the glass plate is made in the shape of an olive leaf.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: Thesaurus is a console table and it can be used as such.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: Thesaurus was presented at Design Days Dubai Fair, and it has been published in magazines like Top Russ, HOT India, Inspired Living UAE, ID Prestige Morocco, Art Privé Russia, Fuera de Serie - Luxury Special in Spain.
