As a Wave of Life,
SOPRO is an impulse of creation
that makes you progress,
undertake new gestures and
aspire to perfection. It urges
you to move forward,
look harder and do better!
At SOPRO we create functional sculptures,
objects with an emotional core that respond to a
practical use.
These are versatile pieces that, whilst functional,
inspire the senses and evoke aesthetic and
emotional experiences. SOPRO seeks value
through craftsmanship and the context in which
the objects are created. Each functional sculpture
is aimed at generating and transmiting the
emotions you desire for your space. We look
for new ways of understanding and using art,
producing unique pieces that, by your selection,
reflect you and enhance your life.

These are complementary forces that interact
creating a dynamic system in which the whole
is more significant than the sum of its parts. It is
balance between opposites that creates harmony,
beauty and the feeling of sublime.

Number three is the inspirat ion for SOPRO’s
f i rst funct ional sculpture - 3 3.
Three is a magical number. I t represents the
spir i tual and intelectual dimensions.
With three dots a plan is created and
real i ty begins to mater ial ize . I t has plenty
of meanings and has always had i ts part in
human history and development .
Three is also the number for unity, balance
and perfect ion.
3 3 has three forms/mater ials/scales that
can be combined in a var iety of ways to
acomodate the use you want i t to have.

The three minimal ist shapes, though
self-suff ic ient , have dif ferent apt i tudes
that combine to sat isfy indiv idual needs.
These dif ferent ways of containing are
complementary.
Structure | the pol ished metal structure
is an abstract ion. I t def ines the l imits and
transforms into a shelf, a suspended l ight
or a scenic piece.
Vase | the outs ide curve hides the inner
c ircle that creates the shape. Whether
rest ing on the plate or suspended from the
structure, i t br ings the object to l i fe .
Slat | i t is where the two worlds combine:
the stra ight l ine and the curve. I t is a f lat
wooden element that connects the marble
vase and the metal structure.
