Cast Aluminum And Wood Coffee Table Set By Sergio Vulpe

Charred Wood and Cast Aluminum Coffee Table by Sergio Vulpe — Brutalist Sculptural DesignThis conceptual coffee table is an original collectible piece by Sergio Vulpe, created in his VulpeConcept studio as part of an experimental series exploring the tension between fire and metal, nature and structure.The top is handcrafted from solid wood and charred using a refined version of the traditional Japanese Shou Sugi Ban technique. The burning reveals the inner grain, giving each surface a deeply tactile, one-of-a-kind texture.The legs are sculpted in raw cast aluminum using solid metal molds. Unpolished and untreated, they retain the brutalist character of the material — strong, unrefined, and architectural.Born on the periphery of the former Soviet Union, Vulpe draws inspiration from its forgotten industrial aesthetics: rough surfaces, stark contrasts, and purposeful form. This table embodies a dialogue between past and present, hand and fire, steel and soul.Each stage — from wood shaping to aluminum casting — is done entirely by hand. Not mass-produced, but forged as an art piece where identity, memory, and material collide.Tags:brutalist coffee table, charred wood furniture, cast aluminum table, collectible design, modern art furniture, wabi sabi furniture, sculptural coffee table, organic brutalism, VulpeConcept, handcrafted statement piece, solid wood and metal table, contemporary collectible design
