Fatum: The Inevitability of Form and the Lightness of Mass

Fatum (Latin for "Fate," "Destiny," or "Inevitability" ) is a completely handmade, sculptural work of art that pushes the boundaries of the traditional coffee table form. The name emphasizes the design's unwavering presence in the space through its simple and resolute geometry , and its power to become an inescapable aesthetic focal point .

Form and Architecture: A Circular Monolith

The design is based on a circular mass in its purest form and evokes minimalist sculpture and primitive architecture .

• Singular Volume: The large circular table, measuring 122 cm in diameter, is supported by a single, solid column rising from the ground. This combination of base and table makes the table not just a piece of furniture, but a monolithic monument .

• Proportional Voltage: The ratio between its $40\text{cm}$ height and its large diameter makes the coffee table appear low and grounded , while the width of the surface creates a social centering space.

Material Philosophy: The Weight of Stone, the Lightness of Hand

Contrary to its appearance, Fatum is handcrafted from lightened stone . This material choice creates the piece's philosophical duality :

• Illusion of Mass: While the coffee table successfully reflects the coldness, density, and visual weight of stone , its lightened structure prevents the physical burden of stone from entering the space. This presents an existential paradox : a practical lightness is achieved while maintaining a sense of weight .

• Textural Authenticity: The handmade production process creates a natural, matte, and slightly rough surface finish. This texture serves as an artistic signature , conveying the object's spirit, free from mass production , and the trace of the artisan's hand .

Spatial Effect: Center of Serenity

Fatum serves as a serene and contemplative centerpiece in the space in which it is installed. Its rounded form creates a fluid and seamless relationship with the surrounding seating. This piece is not merely a piece; it stands as a work of contemporary art, built on the inescapable elegance of form and the unexpected interpretation of material .
