Console "Oneness"

Sale price$20,320.00

The "Oneness" console is a prime example of the "LITHIFICATION" collection's philosophy, which explores the natural forms of stones and their harmonious interaction. Created from five separate elements, it symbolizes unity and interconnection, resembling a family or community, where each element is important and unique, but at the same time is part of a whole.

Each element of the console has an organic, asymmetrical shape, resembling a natural stone. Their arrangement and interaction create an impression of balance and harmony, as if the stones have found their place in natural equilibrium. 

A special feature of the console is that the elements do not simply stand side by side, but seem to envelop each other, creating a sense of unity and interdependence. Their shapes fit together perfectly, emphasizing the idea that each element is necessary to create a complete composition. The transparent glass countertop, resting on the stone elements, adds lightness to the console and allows for a better view of the console's composition. 


Lithification

LITHIFICATION by Anna Manako for Davani Home is a capsule collection of seven sculptural pieces that explore the metaphor of human connection through stone. Inspired by the natural process of rock formation, the collection reflects values of honesty, resilience, and trust - fundamentals of lasting relationships. Each asymmetrical form embodies the balance between individuality and unity, inviting reflection on how openness and vulnerability solidify unbreakable bonds over time.
