Where Geometric Volumes Converge, Everyday Life Moves in Step with Nature’s Rhythm — Desalto
What kind of atmosphere do you want your day to open into? In the morning, it could be as simple as switching on the sound system and letting a gentle melody drift through the air. With a lazy stride, entering the living room, watching the sheer curtains sway gently in the breeze. Daylight diffuses softly onto the Mini Clay coffee table at the center of the space, and light and shadow glide from the round top down toward the conical base. Calm arrives almost of its own accord. A scene this ordinary can be, for many of us, the most sincere kind of longing.

Designer Marc Krusin puts it plainly: “My intention is always to create visual silence, to create objects which are unobtrusive and which harmonise with their surroundings rather than shout for attention.” Look closely at a Clay round table standing quietly nearby and that pursuit of inner stillness becomes tangible. Its geometric language is composed enough to slip naturally into a space that is always changing, yet it holds a precise, confident gesture: two cones, different in size and profile, meeting tip to tip. Balanced, the form feels quietly audacious—just enough to prompt a small, knowing smile in the middle of everyday life.

Desalto may be a furniture brand renowned for metal craftsmanship, yet in collaborating with this meditation-minded Italian designer, it also reveals an inventive curiosity for materials. Clay is striking in its breadth of natural surfaces—ceramic, marble, wood veneer—alongside finishes that combine volcanic minerals with a lime-based binder, applied by hand to preserve naturally irregular textures. Kept in neutral tones, these choices allow home life to sit comfortably alongside nature’s rhythm, shaping an atmosphere that feels relaxed and unforced. Isn’t this, in its own understated way, the scene many of us hope to return to?

A Round Table with Italian Sensibility, Woven into Daily Life Through Minimal Yet Bold Geometry
For many Asian households, the round dining table needs no introduction. Its softened outline suggests harmony and completeness; it can make a room feel more open, and it naturally gathers family and friends into conversation, bringing warmth and movement to the table. For Marc Krusin, Italian by birth, the round table also speaks to sharing meals with family and friends. In 2015, he designed the Clay dining table with a minimalist vocabulary that rethinks the form’s structure at its core: a generous circular top paired with a conical base, supported through the smallest possible point of contact. The result feels both bold and remarkably stable—sculptural in presence, yet quietly elegant in daily use. A taut play of proportions adds new energy to the domestic scene without ever asking for attention.

Even within a similar palette, Clay offers nuance. The base, made from rigid polyurethane, can be finished in lacquer or treated with hand-applied surface work. The top may be round or oval, with options including glass, ceramic, or marble. In these subtle differences—sheen, texture, weight—the experience becomes more sensorial. A yellow travertine top, paired with Clay’s disciplined silhouette, makes the contrast especially clear: material solidity balanced by visual lightness. There is a gentle warmth to it. In the kind of pause where you let the mind go quiet and simply watch light drift across a surface, that everyday sense of peace can surface naturally.

A Classic, Extended—At Home Across Different Scenes of Living
This sensitivity to what people seek is central to Krusin’s approach. He understands that only by reducing visual distractions can a space open up for calm and imagination—an increasingly necessary condition in fast-paced cities. To sit more easily within the smaller homes common today, newer versions of the Clay dining table scale down the tabletop size, allowing the design to shift its presence and adapt to different ways of living. Over time, the series has expanded through a range of sizes and finishes—extending possibilities for changing lifestyles and tastes—while remaining timeless and recognisably classic.

Perhaps it also reflects another shift: beyond caring about the quality of life indoors, more people are stepping outside to feel the movement of natural elements. Introduced in 2016, the Mini Clay coffee table translates the form into a funnel-like silhouette, offered in four smaller diameters and a low-base version to suit indoor and outdoor settings alike. Expanded choices of colour, material texture, and natural patterning allow it to stand alone or to work with surrounding objects, building different moods and different layers of light and shadow.

In 2023, Micro Clay arrived in an even more compact form, bringing a fresh note to a room. Whether wrapped in leather or finished in glossy lacquer, it lets the character of the material show through with restraint. By contrast, Maxi Clay uses broader scale and a more substantial material presence to highlight the balance between art and structure, sculpture and function—at home in spacious residences and high-end commercial interiors. What remains constant across the Clay series is its relationship with handwork: refined textures and distinctive finishes that respond honestly to shifting light throughout the day, shaping a living experience that feels relaxed, quiet, and deeply settled.
