Marble Coffee Table "Unity"

Sale price$11,020.00

The "Unity" table consists of three separate elements that together create a single, balanced composition. Each element of the table has a unique, asymmetrical shape resembling a natural stone.

A characteristic feature is the presence of openings that allow you to peer inside each element, emphasizing the exploration of the internal form of the stone, its voids, and hidden essence. The openings are not located on the same side, which creates a variety of compositions when viewing the table from different sides. This asymmetry, at the same time, is very balanced, which reflects the concept of stone balancing, where the stones, seemingly chaotically arranged, are actually in a state of natural equilibrium.

The "UNITY" table is a fragment of a memory of the original beauty of the stone, regenerated into a modern object of collectible design. It seems to speak to us from the depths of time, preserving the memory of the perfection of nature and its ability to regenerate.

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.
