About
Centerpiece / Table Jewel, designed by Conie Vallese in Milan in 2026, reflects the designer’s exploration of sculptural form within the domestic landscape. Cast in bronze, the piece moves fluidly between function and object, occupying a space where utility becomes secondary to material expression.
Inspired by floral structures and natural rhythms, the work unfolds through organic lines and balanced volumes, emphasizing the dialogue between resilience and delicacy. Its presence on the table transforms a functional object into a focal point, where form, weight, and texture engage in a subtle visual and tactile interplay.
Through this piece, Vallese continues her investigation into the poetic possibilities of materials, creating objects that resonate with both strength and vulnerability while bridging craft traditions and contemporary design.
