Organica Entrance Table

organica Entrance Table is an avant-garde functional art piece that masterfully bridges the gap between utilitarian furniture and sculptural artistry, designed by Fabrizio Constanza. This sophisticated entrance table, which earned the prestigious Golden A' Design Award in the Fine Arts and Art Installation Design category, represents a philosophical interpretation of organic systems through its intricate design composition. The piece draws profound inspiration from human anatomy, incorporating visual references to various bodily systems including respiratory, circulatory, and locomotor structures. The design features two substantial wooden forms evocative of lungs, connected by an aluminum shaft reminiscent of a spinal column, while twisted metal rods suggest arterial pathways throughout the piece. The composition culminates in a 10mm tempered glass top that symbolically represents human skin in its simultaneous strength and delicacy. Measuring 90cm x 130cm x 50cm, this masterwork seamlessly integrates multiple materials including stainless steel, aluminum, wood, and glass, creating a harmonious balance between weight, temporal elements, and motion. Originally conceived as an entrance hall table for a private art gallery, the piece demonstrates exceptional craftsmanship through its combination of traditional woodworking techniques and modern metalworking methods, including human-operated mill, lathe, and plasma cutting processes. The finish is achieved through automobile lacquer-based paint and clear coat, adding to its refined aesthetic appeal. This remarkable design exemplifies the intersection of form and function, where each component plays a vital role in both structural stability and artistic narrative, much like the interconnected systems of the human body it references.
