The Copal Coffee Table draws inspiration from ritual elements rooted in Mexico, specifically the “copaleras”, objects similar to censers or cauldrons used for burning copal, a tree resin said to facilitate communication between humans and deities. Enveloped in an aura of mysticism, the Copal appears to float in the air, defying gravity through its cantilever design. Crafted with precision, the table is made of six half spheres, skillfully assembled to create a visually challenging piece. Its hidden elements and tangential connection contribute to the piece’s balance and structural integrity.
