Borghese Coffee Table

For this strikingly atypical La Chance coffee table, the French sculptor and designer Noé Duchaufour Lawrance took his cue from stone pines at the Villa Borghese in Rome. Also known as umbrella pines, the characteristic network of branches is translated as a graphic steel framework to support a trio of purposely irregular wooden surfaces. The designer's preference for organic shapes readily translates as a standout modernist statement-piece that can also be combined as a larger composition.
