Calculum: The Artistic Expression of Mass and Proportion

Calculum (Latin for "Small Stone," "Calculation," or "Pebble" ) transcends the traditional side table function and positions itself as a completely handmade, sculptural object founded on radial symmetry and material integrity . The name emphasizes the simple, geometric precision of the design and the status of each piece as a uniquely handcrafted , artistic unit .

Form and Geometry: A Cylindrical Stillness

The design is built upon one of the most fundamental and archetypal geometric forms, the cylinder .

• Mathematical Elegance: $\text{Ø}26\text{cm}$ diameter and The balanced proportions of $\text{the H}50\text{cm}$ height give the piece visual stability and a minimalist austerity . This vertical form creates a calm counterpoint to the horizontality of the space.

• Massive Simplicity: The side table rises as a single, uninterrupted mass , without the use of legs or complex structures. This monolithic approach makes the object less a piece of furniture and more a modern abstraction of an ancient column .

Material and Texture: The Thoughtful Surface of Fiber Concrete

Calculum is produced with handmade fiber concrete material, which is gaining increasing importance in modern art and architecture.

• Material Integrity: The choice of fiber concrete ensures the piece conveys a raw, natural, and non-industrial aesthetic. This material maintains the weight of stone while offering the craftsman the flexibility to create custom forms and unique surface textures .

• Texture and Light: The slight roughness and matte finish on the surface allow the coffee table to absorb light softly, highlighting the silhouette of the form and increasing the depth of shadow play in the space.

• Colour Philosophy: The 4 different colour options offered allow the user to match the emotional tone of this sculptural form to their own interior philosophy, personalising the perception of the mass.

Artistic Asset: Personalized Monolith

Calculum is not a mass-produced product, but an artistically designed and custom-made object. This means that each coffee table, despite the standardization of form, is a unique work of art, bearing the marks of the master's hand and the variability of the material . Whether used as a side table, nightstand, or freestanding pedestal, it serves as a serene plinth, elevating the objects placed upon it.
