The Design

About Desen Mesa para sa Kape

Ang Desen, isang modular na koleksyon ng mesa para sa kape na inspirado ng tradisyonal na heometrikong disenyo ng tile sa Mediterranean, ay may dalawang hugis na may iba-ibang taas na nagbibigay-daan sa maraming ayos at lumilikha ng arkitekturang estetika. Dinisenyo para sa indibidwal na paggamit o bilang bahagi ng mas malaking komposisyon, ang koleksyon ay pinagsasama ang praktikal na gamit at eskulturang anyo. Ang mga naka-recess na ibabaw ay nag-aalok ng praktikal na espasyo sa ibabaw habang ang hukbong loob ay nagpapahusay ng kahusayan sa paggamit ng materyales. Ginawa mula sa lokal na marmol, ang Desen ay nagpapakita ng likas na kayamanan at tekstura, na pinagsasama ang tradisyonal na impluwensya sa kontemporaryong prinsipyo ng disenyo.

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.
