At Cerno, they design what they want to see built, their designs are predominantly brought to light by the ingenuity of Co-Founder and Director of Design, Nick Sheridan. After Nick creates these clean modern functional forms, he shares them with Co-Founder and Director of Engineering Daniel Wacholder, who uses his engineering and manufacturing expertise to insure the structural and functional integrity of all products that bare the name Cerno. "An architect friend of ours once said to us 'My favorite colors are concrete, metal and wood.'" We love this saying, and the Silva is for the people who do too. Solid walnut, raw brushed aluminum, and a molded concrete head - honest and clean. The structural connection between metal and wood was the inspiration here, where the fixtures substance is only strengthened by gravity. The tri-leg base finds stability on uneven surfaces and allows the cord to exit discreetly and effectively. It feels signature and iconic while still keeping a clean and timeless modern aesthetic.
