Quadratum incertum
Cocciopesto contemporaneo table or panel 125 x 80 x 2 cm with craquele technique.
It is inspired by an aesthetic code, declined in different variants, which originates directly from ancient Rome. In this particular context it refers to the technique that was used to assemble the "tesserae" in order to make the arrangement in space homogeneous and logical.
It is an ancient codification of laying natural stones still in use today.
We have used the same technique to assembled direct a living room table or a dinning table.
In the ancient tradition, cocciopesto is a building material used as waterproof flooring for interiors and exteriors and for wall covering. It is made up of fragments of bricks (tiles or bricks) which have been minutely crushed and fine mortar based on lime and pozzolana.
This technique that we have revisited comes back to life not only in floors but also in truly original objects, made so by the mix of art, craftsmanship and design.
The table has a stain treatment and is hydro oil repellent, on request there can be used eco-sustainable products.
The surface is polished by hand and moved with ripples. Typical feature of Cocciopesto is the presence on the surface of dots of various grain sizes, small pores, colored inclusions, and traces of craquelure.
A Cipriani Design table is not just a piece of furniture.
It is an unique piece, which combines the ancient artisan techniques of cocciopesto processing with the aesthetic suggestion of a true object of art.
Customizable in shapes, dimensions, and colors, for indoors and outdoors, living room and dining rooms.
