Balteus C: The Rising Limit of Mass

Balteus C (Console) is a custom -designed, entirely handcrafted console sculpture/furniture piece that fulfills the Balteus Collection's need for spatial depth and vertical presence. This piece combines Brutalist craftsmanship with a long, sculptural elegance , transforming it into a central art object in any space.

Form and Architecture: Vertical Balance

Balteus C, With an impressive height of $186\text{cm}$ and With its imposing height of $80\text{cm}$ , it acts more than just a functional piece of furniture, but rather an architectural installation .

• Horizontal Strength and Vertical Precision: The long, sharp horizontal line of the console adds depth and stability to the space, Its height of $80\text{cm}$ allows the piece to be transformed into a sculpture pedestal or memorial wall . These dimensions ( $L:186\text{cm}|W:40\text{cm}|H:80\text{cm}$ ) creates a visual focal point , especially on the entrance or living room walls.

• Optical Weight and Lightness: The clean, angular silhouette of the design reflects the heavy and raw nature of the material, while its form, which appears to rise slightly from the ground, creates an intellectual tension between mass density and modern lightness .

Material and Touch: The Exaltation of Rawness

Like the Balteus TV unit, the Balteus C maintains the material dualism created by the combination of the fiber concrete exterior and the wooden interior structure .

• Surface of Time: Hand-applied fiber concrete offers a natural, porous, and unique texture, rather than a mechanized finish. This singular finish emphasizes that each console is an unrepeatable artifact , bearing the handprint of the craftsman .

• Warmth From Within: The gray, earthy tones and raw texture of the fiber concrete are balanced by the warm and sheltering presence of the wood used in the interior. This dialogue reveals a hidden elegance and emotional depth to the piece.

Collection Context and Singularity

Balteus C, part of the Balteus Collection, is a sophisticated continuation of this design language adapted to the console form .

• Artistic Repetition: When used side by side with the Balteus TV unit, it creates a repeating, rhythmic sculptural pattern in the space, providing an artistic spatial flow .

• Personalized Expression: Just like the other pieces in the collection, its completely personalized production makes Balteus C not just a piece of furniture, but a concrete expression of the user's unique aesthetic vision .
