Sculptural minimalism offers a sense of lightness revealing the delicate veining, unique to each piece________________________________________Visualizing it in your space:‘Cutting Corners’ is a white marble & solid bronze coffee table, designed to celebrate curvaceousness while maintaining the minimum possible footprint. It consists of an oval surface in white Greek marble supported by a marble base carved out of seamless volume, the design of which combines simple geometric form into a voluptuous base. Despite its volume and sculptural feel, the base features subtle contours and a fine mat finish. The curvature of the marble is highlighted by a thin bronze surface, which sits just opposite and acts as an unobtrusive support. Its slenderness juxtaposes the marble volume and its patina adds to the timelessness of the base, transforming it into a balanced whole.With two discreet legs, the purity of the white oval surface takes center stage. This includes the fine form of the ellipse, its thinness and unique vein pattern. The collection includes a coffee table, dining table, side tables, and a translucent wall-light, each with its own dialogue between solidity and softness. Together, they create an atmosphere that is at once grounded and ethereal—perfect for both intimate interiors and bold architectural spaces.________________________________________Background & Identity:Made in our Athens-based studio, Cutting Corners embodies on.entropy’s philosophy of merging heritage craftsmanship with contemporary precision.
