Babliano Coffee Table II, a low sculptural plane that gradually transitions from a grounded platform into an elevated reclining surface. A restrained curvature emerges from the base, creating a controlled sense of lift while maintaining visual stability. The work emphasises the relationship between repose and structure, allowing the blackened bronze surface to register subtle tonal shifts as light moves across the continuous form

Babliano draws influence from the carved permanence of ancient artefacts and ritual objects, alongside the precise proportion of classical architectural traditions

Echoes of Roman structural clarity and the refined restraint of French neoclassical design inform the collection, reinterpreted through a contemporary sculptural language that encourages moments of pause, contemplation, and heightened spatial awareness

Forms emerge with controlled force, where mass gradually transitions into curve and edges soften into shadow, allowing each piece to shift subtly with light, movement, and human presence

Handcrafted by Ateliers Saint-Jacques in France, the collection embodies a disciplined approach to European craftsmanship and sculptural making. Each work carries subtle hand-applied variation and material depth, revealing traces of human touch. These nuances allow the pieces to hold a lasting sense of permanence and authorship
