Too much? Table
About This Project
What is the value of money?
Amarist studio crosses the line between Art and Design with one of their most provocative creations: “Too much?” table. This functional sculpture seeks to provoke a deep thought on the viewer about the volatility of money.
“An euro bill by itself is a mere tinted paper representing a figure; 20, 50, 100 … and has no more value than the time invested to get it. We just seek to exchange it for a desired object or experience”
Out of this meditation we created our unique project “Too much?”. A piece of art transformed into an original dining table made of a glass cube containing partially burnt 50 €uro bills and with a thin biofuel flame rising above its surface. Where the artist reproduced meticulously banknotes from paper using a hyper-realistic technique, and simulated the effect of the burning fire sculpting and petrifying ashes with resin.
