Desalto – Console Table Element

The Element project unfolds into a family of furnishings that applies the same sculptural vision to both coffee tables and consoles. The exploration of form, inspired by the structure of crystals and the spontaneous beauty of nature, is reinterpreted across different scales and functions while maintaining a coherent and distinctive language. Each piece preserves the central core of the collection: an inclined volume that serves as a support, evoking minerals and quartz, and imparting dynamism and visual tension.Element Console stems from a reflection on sculptural form as the generative principle of the project. Inspired by the spontaneous structure of crystals and their unpredictable growth, it translates the irregular harmony of nature into a rigorous, contemporary architectural statement. At its core lies a single central support: an inclined metal parallelepiped that recalls minerals and quartz through its geometry and sculptural presence. Positioned at an angle, balanced between floor and top, it introduces a visual tension that challenges the perception of gravity while ensuring absolute structural stability. The top, slender and precisely proportioned, extends with clarity above this inclined volume, creating a composition that is essential yet strongly expressive. Element Console goes beyond the function of a simple supporting surface to become a sculptural presence capable of defining the identity of a space. An object that brings nature and artifice, randomness and control into dialogue, transforming a formal intuition into a calibrated balance between material strength and perceptual lightness.Element Coffee Table represents the most radical essence of the project. Here, the research focuses on the balance between mass and void, entrusting the entire structure to a single inclined central support. The metal parallelepiped, inspired by mineral forms, is positioned at an angle beneath the top, creating an off-centre visual barycentre that generates dynamism and sculptural tension. Stability relies on engineering precision, while the perception is that of a suspended volume, almost crystallised in a moment of movement. Compact yet incisive, the coffee table becomes a three-dimensional element that engages with the space from every perspective. The purity of the surfaces and the sharpness of the edges enhance the expressive strength of the metal, transforming a furnishing piece into an object with a sculptural character, capable of introducing rhythm and identity into the environment.
