This striking piece of furniture effectively blends artistic inspiration with functional design. Drawing from the behavior of sand and its unique properties between solid and liquid states, the sculptural coffee table design features an undulating aluminum base that mimics the organic forms of dunes. Crafted by Porto-based metalsmith Leandro Cruz, the hand-brushed surface adds a tactile quality that evokes both granular particles and fluid motion. The base’s precisely calculated curves give the illusion of being shaped by natural forces, while the tinted glass top appears to float above.
Through these design decisions, Kajsa Melchior is able to evoke serene qualities that will undoubtedly elevate the ambiance of any living room.
