Leonardo Lague

TIME AFTER TIME explores the relationship between symbols, time, and Brazilian soapstone—ancient geology reinterpreted through contemporary design. First unveiled at Alcova in Milan, the piece developed from intuitive gestures refined by Maqstone’s innovative perspective. It establishes a clear dialogue between rock and form. #TimeAfterTime #TBT Credits Creative direction, strategy, scenography, communication and production: @versa.versa.versa Photography: @hugotakemoto PR: @ponte.ag Press: @write.agency Editing: @filipe.krug Soundtrack: @jeffpulz

​​Brazilian designer @leolague has always been known for navigating the space between opposites. Born in southern Brazil, where verdant landscapes often meet the stark lines of industrial coal mines, his formative years instilled in him a fascination with contrasts based on the raw and refined, and the natural and man-made. And it is exactly this duality that forms the backbone of Lauge’s creative philosophy, reflected in his groundbreaking furniture which straddles the line between functional objects and sculptural artworks. ​​ ​​Following presentations in Milan and São Paulo earlier this year—the former during FuoriSalone as part of @piloto_milano ’s exhibition, the latter in October at Residência Mário Masetti, an award-winning Brutalism house by Paulo Mendes da Rocha—Lague brought his work to this year’s Art Basel Miami as part of @alcova.milano showcase. With his installation “Silver Dreams”, Lauge continues his exploration of contrasts, offering a poetic meditation on the intersections of permanence and flux, and tradition and innovation. ​​ ​​Yatzer recently caught up with the designer to talk about the installation, his creative practice, and his fascination with astronomy.

Geometrias racionais e veios imprevisíveis se cruzam na estante Willy. Em rádica de imbuia e aço escovado, a peça nasce do exercício de confrontar materialidades opostas, articulando precisão e instinto, rigor construtivo e organicidade. - Rational geometries and unpredictable grains intersect in the Willy bookcase. Crafted in imbuia burl and brushed steel, the piece emerges from the exercise of confronting opposing materialities, articulating precision and instinct, constructive rigor and organicity.

Esculpido em bloco único de pedra, o Monólito U insere uma incisão vertical que interrompe a densidade do material e converte o vazio em elemento ativo. A geometria em U organiza a massa e cria tensão entre solidez e abertura, permitindo que a peça atue como assento, apoio ou escultura. — Carved from a single block of stone, the Monolith U inserts a vertical incision that interrupts the density of the material and transforms emptiness into an active element. The U-shaped geometry organizes the mass and creates tension between solidity and openness, allowing the piece to function as a seat, support, or sculpture. Enquires: @micasavolb
