the utopia 04 console is a sophisticated exercise in calculated imbalance. Conceived by artist drama, this work abandons symmetry in favour of a more honest, rhythmic logic. Each vertical element is a deliberate note in a visual composition where balance emerges from asymmetry. It is a piece designed for those in search of a new visual language - one that resonates with refined taste and an unapologetically bold aesthetic.

distinguished by its distinctive "mutant" silhouette, the console transforms a functional form into a sculptural choreography. The extensive use of hand-applied copper leaf provides a warm, radiant glow that contrasts with the pure white surfaces, emphasizing the pursuit of creation. Beyond its striking exterior, the utopia 04 reveals a hidden layer of luxury: its drawers are lined with premium blue velvet, offering a sophisticated tactile surprise.

the utopia 04 is part of the utopia collection, which was presented internationally at design shanghai, collectible design hall, and includes works distinguished with international design awards.
