radiant as an illusory sun, the utopia 02 coffee table is an exploration of geometric rhythm and visual movement. Conceived by artist drama, this piece stands as a manifesto against the proliferation of meaningless objects. It offers a form charged with intention: hypnotic, hedonistic and unapologetically bold. It is a visual choreography where static form transforms into a dynamic experience, designed for those who see beyond the ordinary.

the piece is defined by 120 asymmetrical angled panels that impart a rhythmic motion, bringing the structure to life as the viewer moves around it. The sharp edges of the white lacquered panels meet the smooth, opulent surface of the portoro marble top, creating a dialogue between contemporary minimalism and classical luxury. Each panel is meticulously detailed with hand-applied gold leaf, reflecting light in a way that suggests a celestial glow.
