Cast Aluminum and Wood Handcrafted Set of Coffee Tables by Sergio Vulpe

This sculptural coffee table set by Sergio Vulpe explores the raw beauty of nature and fire. Each tabletop is crafted from solid wood, hand-charred to reveal deep grain patterns and rich texture. The legs are cast in raw aluminum, unpolished and sculptural — a brutalist contrast to the organic wood. Born in Eastern Europe, Vulpe channels post-Soviet material austerity into collectible furniture pieces that feel both ancient and futuristic. Every element is handmade in his VulpeConcept studio, where traditional craft meets experimental design. Ideal for brutalist, organic modern, or wabi-sabi interiors. A true collector's piece — raw, bold, and emotionally resonant. brutalist coffee table, organic sculptural table, charred wood furniture...

This table is an original design by Sergio Vulpe, who was born on the periphery of the former Soviet Union and draws inspiration from the remnants of that era — its raw textures, austere geometry, and stark material contrasts. Created as part of an experimental series in his VulpeConcept studio, the set explores the interplay between organic wood and industrial metal. The tabletops are crafted from solid wood, hand-charred using Vulpe’s personal adaptation of a traditional Japanese burning technique. The fire reveals the inner grain and gives each surface its unique tactile character. The legs are cast in aluminum using solid metal molds. Left unpolished, they preserve the rawness of the material and reinforce the sculptural presence of the form. The dialogue between flame and metal, between fluidity and precision, served as the foundation for this concept. Each stage — from carving to casting — is performed by hand. This is not mass production, but a continuation of an artistic search where material, form, and the maker’s history merge into one object. brutalist coffee table, organic sculptural table, charred wood furniture...

Aluminum concretion coffee table by Studio Julien Manaira Dimensions: 65 x 65 x 40 cm Materials: Aluminium and stainless steel The concretion project consists of sand-casting aluminium in a base of stainless steel tubes to form objects. The tubes are placed and cut to certain heights according to what the gross object’s dimensions will be. The shapes of each horizontal surface are then prepared by hand without following any precise plan. Each pouring of aluminium is at the same time forming surfaces of the object as well as connecting elements together. The aim of this process is to create a strong relation between two types of metal: the industrial stainless steel and the brut hand-cast aluminium, that comes visually as an extension of the first one. The two types of metal have two opposite relation to time, the industrial tube can’t be placed in time, only resulting from a continuous chain of production when the hand-cast part captures the very moment of formation of the object. This opposition is not meant to compare which materiality is best, but to enrich each other by their difference, and therefore stimulate the Julien Manaira (France, 1992) successively studied industrial design (La martinière, Lyon) and fine arts -option product design (Esad, Reims). in 2015 he came to Amsterdam to follow a temporary master program (Materialisation in Art and Design) at the Sandberg Institute where he graduated in 2017 before opening his studio in the same city. His graduation project ‘The once liquid plastic’ was awarded by the RADO Star Prize 2017 and the 3rd prize of the Pure Talent Contest at IMM Cologne 2018. In the last years, he exhibited his works in different established and recognized organizations such as Paris Design Week, IMM Cologne, Design Parade Hyères, and Milan Design Week. He was commissioned by different companies, among which Nilufar Gallery, Nubikk, Van Dijk Store as well as private clients. The main focus in his practice is setting processes that allow the manufacturer or him to be mentally and physically involved in the transformation of material towards an object. He believes that this empowerment is a way to engage deeper the audience or user’s perception, and therefore create a stronger connection with the object. Serendipity, combining industrial and artisanal material, are examples of how he aims to create objects that are able to communicate their undergone transformations. Iris Box...
