NINFEA
Free form glass coffee table set
The Ninfea coffee tables are inspired by the elegance of a vibrant pond: within the verdant leaves and delicate pink petals, a delicate interplay of transparencies and reflections masterfully balances the natural and the refined. The first coffee table is composed of glass, with a green onyx effect that evokes the shape and texture of a water lily leaf. The material exhibits a velvety green effect, characterised by delicate veins and natural shades, which collectively impart a fresh and organic aesthetic. The second coffee table, which is of a more diminutive nature, is characterised by the same organic sensibility and a pink onyx effect, evocative of a water lily flower. The piece is characterised by its delicacy and the presence of elegant veins, which serve to symbolise the aesthetic qualities and fragility of the flower itself. The dimensions of the two coffee tables are proportionate to the natural arrangement of water lilies, where the flower is positioned away from the leaf and appears diminished in size. The legs of both coffee tables are composed of extra-clear glass, thereby evoking the crystalline transparency of water and a contemporary aesthetic lightness.
In the Kimeya Nature collection, the four elements – air, water, earth and fire – are represented through a balanced combination of shapes, textures and reflections. The medium of glass is rendered fluid, reminiscent of water; light is depicted in a dancing motion, akin to air; pigments are utilised to evoke the potency of the earth; and the warmth of the veins alludes to the energy of fire. The creations are functional works of art, in which the immaterial connection between external beauty and the inner depth of the designer is perceived, and the sacredness of nature is celebrated, with the magic of transparency being played with. The products are unified by a shared characteristic of vibrant contemporaneity, emphasising a journey characterised by moments of inspiration and creative gestures. This journey is akin to a flow that is impossible to escape, engaging and captivating the observer between dynamism and stillness, matter and emotion.
