Cataracta: Form, Texture, and Aesthetic Dialogue

Cataracta isn't just a piece of furniture; it's a custom-designed, hand-crafted microcement manifesto that combines minimalist sculpting with industrial elegance. Named after nature's most powerful and fluid forms, it adds both a focal point and a philosophical depth to your space.

Weight of Organic Form

The coffee table's top is shaped with an organic, amorphous contour . Neither a perfect circle nor a traditional ellipse, it reflects the random yet perfect form of a stone sculpted by wind or water in nature. This asymmetry offers a visual dynamism that constantly shifts depending on the viewer's perspective, transforming the coffee table from a static object into a living form in constant interaction with the space .

Textural Richness and the Secret of Microcement

Cataracta's surface is coated with the distinctive, rough, and porous texture of microcement . This texture preserves the raw, honest character of concrete while being refined by the finesse of handcrafting. Presented in a broken shade of white, this surface gains depth by playing with light, creating an intellectual bridge between the simple elegance of modernism and rustic authenticity. This surface is not only a visual experience but also a tactile invitation.

Rule: Fluidity and Mass Balance

The most striking element of the design, the pedestal, is composed of stacked fluid rings that appear to undulate or melt under the force of nature. This sculptural base provides mass stability, balancing the width and weight of the tabletop. The pedestal creates the illusion of movement, with the forms flowing into each other, echoing the "waterfall" or "cascade" feeling in the table's name.
