In this brass couch table, form and material coalesce into a statement of sculptural opulence. Recalling an ice shelf or a plate of volcanic rock, its brass surface engages the surrounding light, transforming the table into a mutable presence, animated by its environment. Brass, historically associated with ceremonial and domestic grandeur, infuses the piece with a sense of permanence and luxury, while its archaic visual quality keeps it from feeling static. Its low, grounded stance evokes the horizontality of Japanese chabudai, placing emphasis on a communal, earthbound mode of gathering. The subtly articulated base creates a levitation effect, granting the mass a surprising lightness.
