Memento: A Geological Memory

Memento —Latin for "Remember" or "Memory" —takes its name from its monumental presence, defying time and evoking the earth's natural formations . It's not just a coffee table, but a deeply textured, hand-crafted sculpture ; it stands in place like an archaeological find , combining the strength of mass and the lightness of form in a philosophically charged contradiction.

Material and Touch: The Essence of Lightening Stone

The artistic essence of Memento lies in its special production techniques that overturn traditional perceptions of materials.

• Lightweight Mass: The design is crafted entirely by hand from artistic stone material whose density has been reduced using a special technique. This process visually conveys the stability and solidity of the rock mass while also facilitating a practical and portable structure. Thus, the coffee table becomes a contemplative object that questions the dichotomy between weight and lightness .

• Layered Surface Story: The coffee table's surface, thanks to its handcrafted texture, has a rough, raw, and matte finish . This texture gives the impression of a natural rock or travertine section eroded by wind and water. The ripples in color and texture on the surface emphasize the uniqueness and unique artisanship of each piece.

Form and Philosophy: A Radical Balance

The form of Memento speaks a language that is both determined and organic.

• Silent Monumentality: The wide, oval and low (38 cm) form of the coffee table creates a deep-rooted, unshakable balance on the floor of the space. $103\text{cm}$ wide and With a depth of $71\text{cm}$ , the coffee table becomes the centrepiece of the seating area, while its low profile maintains spatial fluidity .

• Formal Simplicity: The design expresses itself as a pure and primitive mass , devoid of unnecessary ornamentation. This simple line focuses on the textural richness of the material. The coffee table's wide, columnar legs at the four corners reinforce the strength of the mass and lend architectural stability to its form.

Memento is a collectible architectural piece with a timeless aesthetic and profound character , representing the strong bond between nature and art in the interior.
