About Desen Tavolino da caffè

Desen, una collezione di tavolini da caffè modulari ispirata alle geometrie tradizionali delle piastrelle mediterranee, presenta due forme di altezze variabili che permettono numerose configurazioni ed evocano un'estetica architettonica. Progettata per l'uso individuale o come parte di una composizione più ampia, la collezione bilancia praticità funzionale e forma scultorea. I piani ribassati offrono superfici pratiche mentre gli interni cavi migliorano l'efficienza materiale. Realizzata con marmi di provenienza locale, Desen presenta ricchezza e texture naturali, fondendo influenze tradizionali con principi del design contemporaneo.

Tags: coffee tables, pattern, luxury, marble, side tables, iconic, tiles, architectural, contemporary, elegant
Production Technology: Desen tables are crafted from responsibly sourced Turkish marbles, including Travertine, Karaman Beige, Kale Bordeaux, and Afyon White. The shapes are precision-cut and hollowed to reduce weight without compromising structural integrity. The recessed surface details are carefully milled to ensure both visual elegance and functional stability for objects placed on top.
Design Challenge: The challenge was to create iconic tables that are functional both individually and as part of a set. Achieving a puzzle-like aesthetic without compromising the tables’ standalone integrity required in-depth graphic design exploration. Balancing three different heights to serve varied needs while maintaining aesthetic harmony was equally demanding, pushing the boundaries of modular table design.
Research: The design process involved extensive research into Ottoman art and Islamic geometric patterns, referencing works like Cartier and Islamic Arts. This study of historical motifs helped reinterpret traditional forms into modern, functional pieces. The research highlighted the timeless appeal of symmetry and repetition, inspiring Desen’s modular, combinable design that brings cultural richness into contemporary living.
Inspiration: Desen draws inspiration from Mediterranean motifs and traditional tile patterns, reimagined through a contemporary lens. The design reflects extensive research into historical ornamentation, showcasing how geometric forms and intricate details can create timeless elegance in modern interiors.
Project Duration: The project started in September 2023 and will be presented at Salone Satellite in April 2025 during Salone del Mobile. The pieces are getting produced in Turkey to be presented in Italy.
Operation Flow: Desen tables are designed for flexible use. Their puzzle-like forms allow users to arrange them in countless ways whether as standalone side tables, combined coffee tables, or layered compositions at varying heights. The recessed surfaces secure items like cups and decor, while the lightweight, hollow design makes rearranging effortless for dynamic spaces.
