Vincenzo De Cotiis crafts sculptural coffee tables in cast bronze and marble

Vincenzo De Cotiis approaches the coffee table as a sculptor might approach stone: not as an object to hold things, but as a composition to inhabit space. His 2025 collection bends bronze and marble into fluid, organic forms that seem less made than discovered, as though drawn from water or the shifting weight of fabric suspended in time.

Each table exists as a unique piece, numbered and individual. The surfaces undulate with intentional asymmetry, their edges curving and folding like wind caught surfaces. Cast bronze forms the structural base and sculptural elements, its weathered patina catching light across textured surfaces that recall aged stone or water worn metal. White and grey marble inlays punctuate the compositions: smooth ovals and rounded rectangles that seem to float within the bronze, their cool veining contrasting against the darker metal’s austere warmth.

The collection carries a poetic title: Je Marchais Pieds Nus Dans L’Étang, I walked barefoot in the pond. It speaks to the sensory, almost tactile quality of these works. A single marble piece nestles within each bronze composition like a stone touched by water, while the overall form suggests movement arrested, a gesture frozen in noble material.

What De Cotiis achieves here transcends the decorative. These tables function as furniture, yes, but they operate equally as sculptural presences, objects that demand contemplation rather than mere utility. They belong to rooms conceived with intention, spaces where craft and vision are understood as one.
