We designed the “Impress” coffee table because we wanted to embody the feelings and sensations we had when walking on meadow riverbanks. The tabletop contains several materials that highlight the textures and colors found in these areas.
The materials used are wood, river rock, epoxy resin, and steel. The wood we used is walnut and the stone elements are made by cutting river rocks we selected straight from the riverbed. We chose the most transparent and tintless type of epoxy resin possible.
The ellipsoidal shape of the “Impress” coffee table, as well as the rounded shapes of the elements that compose the countertop, evoke, on the one hand, the natural erosion of materials under the action of water, but at the same time it brings the viewer the delight of seeing rounded, non-aggressive shapes, leading him to a state of tranquility.
The tabletop is sustained by the square steel bars network, which is designed as a dynamic, rhythmic, composition, reproducing in an abstract way the image of some roots or vegetal debris brought by water.
