The Zen collection is a beautiful range of coffee tables that honor the look of light refractions and frosty surfaces. It was designed by the multidisciplinary firm Draga & Aurel and it was presented by Rossana Orlandi Gallery during Milan Design Week. The colorful finishes reflect light refractions and what it would look like in the form of blocks of ice.
The collection is comprised of three coffee tables and a dining table. All of these are made from Lucute and are handcrafted by artisans in Como. To form the frosted look at the surface, there are sheets of pastel-tonal Lucite that replicate the refractions as if it has been frozen in place. Every single table is a work of art.
